I tried to send "abc%yun" value in the request parameter but got an error as : "message": "The request is not valid. Please check your parameters. (Invalid encoded sequence "%yun")".
So can we send "%" in the request parameter or not?

You should URL-encode parameters before you put them in the URL. – Ivar Jun 23 '21 at 10:05

This is not a Java, Spring, Spring-Boot or Spring-MVC question. It is about URLs. – Stephen C Jun 26 '21 at 05:44

The % character is special in the URL encoding scheme, and as such needs itself to be encoded to be included in a URL parameter.
The % character is represented by %25 in this scheme. Your example would then be "abc%25yun".
Here is one of many websites that allow you to encode values interactively. And an article on Wikipedia.

The % used for encoding the URL. For example if you passing any request Param value with space then it will encoded with %20
URL - http://localhost/home?Param=sample one
It will encoded as below. The space replaced with %20.
URL - http://localhost/home?Param=sample%20one
While doing the encoding and decoding you have to use same standard format like UTF-8
