URI Escape is a scripting addition to encode strings into percent escaped strings and to decode percent escaped URI(URL) strings.
You may have seen a string like "%E3%82%82%E3%81%97%E3%82%82%E3%81%97.png". Characters for URI (URL) are limited to subset of ascii characters, therefore other characters (ex. 2 byte characters) are expressed using "% + hex?number" form. The expression "% + hex number" is called as "percent escape". "URI Escape.osax" enables AppleScript to encode strings into percent escaped form and decode it.

If encoding a URL is all you need to do, this osax works just fine. I've used URI Escape for encoding very long strings (AppleScripts) as URLs so they open in Script Editor as scripts.
URI Escape does exactly what it is supposed to do without a hitch.
