Here's the output of a URL parser (the one I chose was Firefox):

new URL("http://example.com/?%").search
"?%"

Here's the output of a URI parser:

$ ruby -r addressable/uri -e "p 
Addressable::URI.parse('http://example.org/?%').query"
"%"

I also assert that such a URL round-trips a URL parse/serialize sequence.
