This doesn't work in HTML/HTTP, either.
Go to https://jfm.carcosa.net/testme.html, look at the source, see what
happens with each link. The web server is Apache.
The upshot is that to include %, or any other reserved character in the
link, you do need to pre-encode it in your source. That's obvious for
' ', because of the syntax of links in gemtext. But it's also true of %,
etc.
