I don't think this should be returning a URL-encoded version of the string.
In most cases, we actually need to use the value after it has been decoded by
Jersey. The only time we'd want to re-encode it is before display... but this
method doesn't seem to be limited to only being used prior to display in the
view.
It should also not throw an UnsupportedEncodingException. UTF-8 is always
supported. This exception should be suppressed inside the method, instead of
leaking out.
Also, `StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name()` should be used instead of `"UTF-8"`,
whenever the String version of the charset is required.
