    Hello,

    Do SE robots decode URL-encoded links?
    For example: If all the incoming links to my site are URL-encoded (like this: http%3A%2F%2F%56%83%Y6%R5%H3%23%Y6%H2%49%A2%8E...) how would the link appear in my listing on the SERP? Would it appear as is (encoded)? Or would the robot decode it and display the real (decoded) URL?
