title: Reading special characters from URL query string
body: <p>I have a situation where the user is able to enter any characters they want in a URL query string.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost/default.aspx?ID=a" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/default.aspx?ID=a</a>‡jljglkjg</p>
  
  <p>How can I accept special characters such as ‡, ˆ, and † in asp.net from a URL query string? I am finding that when I attempt to retrieve these URL query string these special characters gets replaced with a “?”.</p>
  
  <p>Note: The user inputs these query string into the URL.</p>
