%20 is the equivalent of a space (in a file name).

This is called urlencoding.

This is also referred to as 'escaped' text. All of the characters that would
cause a problem in a URL are replaced with a code, i.e., '%20' the space
character which is not permited in a URL.

JavaScript has escape and unescape for working with encoding and decoding.
