The characters in URLs are only US-ASCII, and any other character
wanted in an URL must be encoded according to the standard rules:
map each non-ASCII character to its UTF representation as 2, 3,
or 4 bytes, and then encode those bytes as %xx sequences, where
xx is 2 hex digits. So a \u200B should appear as "%E2%80%8B".
