Does Eloqua url encodes parameter value?

Hi everyone,

I'm just curious if Eloqua url encodes parameter value when included in a link?

So for example, I have a link http://www.mywebsite.com/here.html?eid=sample&country=<span class=`eloquaemail` >Country</span>

If my country is Congo, the Democratic Republic of the

Is it safe to say that the country value that is being passed will be Congo, the Democratic Republic of the AND NOT URL ENCODED Congo%2c+the+Democratic+Republic+of+the ?

Thank you!
