Description

What happened?

If I set the D:\Work\Report\TPL\NKK#7555\PDFViewer1.pdf path when I call WebView2's Navigate method, the PDF file fails to open because the folder name in the path contains a "#".

Importance

Important. My app's user experience is significantly compromised.

Stable release (WebView2 Runtime)

Repro steps

Set the local path to "D:\Work\Report\TPL\ nkk# 7555\ pdfviewer.pdf" and prefix it with "file://".
Calling the Navigate method of WebView2 failed to open the PDF.

After some debugging, WebView2's Navigate method splits the path according to '#", If the "D:\Work\Report\TPL\NKK" path exists, the "NKK" file or folder is opened, but if the path does not exist, an error is reported that the file was not found
