encoded character data. For example, in computers, character data manifests in encoded form, at some level, and thus could be treated as either binary or character data when being mapped to URI characters. Presumably, it is up to the URI scheme specifications to account for this possibility and require one or the other, but in practice, few, if any, actually do.

Non-standard implementations

There exists a non-standard encoding for Unicode characters: %uxxxx, where xxxx is a UTF-16 code
