EncodeURL method is used to encode the special characters itself so these characters should not be a problem. 

Also as given on this URL all special characters have equivalent UTF-8 values : https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp


could you please share the example string in which you are facing issue, so can check with specific case. Also you can check by putting the text on above w3schools URL for encoding.

but in outsystems if I use EncodeURL(" ^ ( ) + { } [ ] : " /ASDF") function , it is giving API bad request 

and also for space instead of %20 it is taking it as +

Please assist
