Escaping Special Characters in Abbreviated URIs

Is it possible to escape special characters in abbreviated URIs in a SPARQL query?  For example, how could one perform this query against Dbpedia:

  PREFIX dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
  DESCRIBE dbpedia:Newark%2C_New_Jersey

I've tried various things, but so far have only been able to make it work by using a non-abbreviated URI:

  DESCRIBE <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Newark%2C_New_Jersey>

Thanks,
Jamey
