URL UTF8 Encoder
/**
* Provides a method to encode any string into a URL-safe
* form.
* Non-ASCII characters are first encoded as sequences of
* two or three bytes, using the UTF-8 algorithm, before being
* encoded as %HH escapes.

* 3-character string "%xy", where xy is
* the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the character
* code
*
* <li><p>All non-ASCII characters are encoded in two steps: first
* to a sequence of 2 or 3 bytes, using the UTF-8 algorithm;
