title: JavaScript encodeURIComponent With Backslash
body: <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeuricomponent.asp" rel="noreferrer">w3schools</a> says the following about <code>encodeURIComponent</code> function:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This function encodes special characters. In addition, 
    it encodes the following characters: <code>, / ? : @ &amp; = + $ #</code>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does that mean that it cannot encode a backslash (<code>\</code>)?</p>
