A bit of font trivia for inquiring minds out there. %20 = a space in 8 bit Ascii (the % acts as a flag which says "the next string of numbers is the code for a character" and 20 is the ascii (also unicode) for a space (in hex). A few other common ones are %2C = comma, %3A = colon, %3B = semicolon, and %25 = percent.
