I think you are running into a specification of URL format that won't be
able to get around...

? is a reserved character in a URL.  If it exists in the page name it must
be converted to %3f; or it will be thought of an argument separator.

The difference is what can be viewed in a web page and what can be used on a
URL.

Reserved characters in a URL are:

 Dollar ("$")
 Ampersand ("&")
 Plus ("+")
 Comma (",")
 Forward slash/Virgule ("/")
 Colon (":")
 Semi-colon (";")
 Equals ("=")
 Question mark ("?")
 'At' symbol ("@")

A good reference page on this is:
