The character "%" is allowed but is interpreted as the start of a special escaped sequence.

There are two possible ways in which this decoder could deal with illegal strings. It could either leave illegal characters alone or it could throw an IllegalArgumentException . Which approach the decoder takes is left to the implementation.
