Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Send URL such as `https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Ho%27olauna_aloha!`, `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'` (note the trailing single quote)
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
Element should include the trailing reserved characters, as they are not required to be percent encoded, as defined in RFC 3986.
#### What happened instead?
Element will exclude the trailing exclamation mark, single quote, etc, making the URL invalid.
