"+" is a reserved character in URLs and encodes to "%2B".
What is its special meaning?
+10
A:
It's the URL-encoded value of space. For example, search for "url encoding" (without the quotes) in Google, and then look at the URL. It will include
q=url+encoding
Note the plus where the space was.

Of course. I've used "+" like that before, I just had assumed that there was some hidden technical usage :)
