Note: Character URL encoding

Just a quick reference of characters with their URL encoded version. Useful in deeplinks / URL-schemes.

Examples

  • Hello world becomes: Hello%20world
  • Are you there? becomes: Are%20you%20there%3F
  • :) becomes: %3A%29

So in a URL scheme, you would do something like this:

 
https://wa.me/1234/?text=Find%20me%20at%20https%3A%2F%2Ffrankl.in

    1. Hi, did someone tell you to use this article to fix, unlock or restore your account?

      If so, I’m afraid you are a victim of cybercrime.

      DO NOT share your credentials with anyone.
      BLOCK THAT PERSON IMMEDIATELY!

      And check your devices and email for malware, automatic forwarding and access by strangers.

      Me and this website are not affiliated with WhatsApp in any way.

      Be safe!
