Internationalization (I18n) Method Overview

The encode method translates a string into x-www-form-urlencoded format. If the character encoding isn't passed in, the platform's default character encoding is used, which may not give correct results. It is important to call the method that takes an encoding parameter and to pass in the correct encoding.
