To escape an non-alphanumeric character, you are suppose to use the "%" symbol and add the Hexadecimal value. For example, instead of seeing the space character in an URL, you would see it encoded with the sequence "%20".

So you can include spaces in URLs (as long as they are encoded). Now some browsers may accept a URL with spaces and other characters, but these are "features" (flaws) because they will usually cause more problems than they are worth.
