Desired Outcome Goal:
Using the service "Global Changes (manage-21)" an error message appears when trying to change text in an URL because some characters are not allowed to change.

Error message:
The following characters can not be used ?{'`^>,

Procedure:
Unfortunately it's not possible to use some specific characters in the "Global Changes (manage-21)" menu. However it's possible to change text including such characters by adding the Unicode decimal character combination instead. For the according characters these are

? \%3F
{ \%7B
' \%27
` \%60
^ \%5E
> \%3E
, \%2C
So it's possible to change e.g.
http://Test-Ex-Libris\%3FURL
... to ...
http://Test-Ex-Libris\%3FTEST
