E.g.
String START = "__START__";
String END = "__END__";
inputString = START + inputString + END;
What about
char START = '^';
char END = '$';
inputString = START + inputString + END;
?
The probability of encountering a $ sign somewhere inside URL is not
insignificant... I agree that it's very unlikely (perhaps even illegal)
to use ^ in URLs, but $ are sometimes used.
