Urls with special characters like apostrophe and question mark

On my url link if the user click on a like some times the person who post question may use apostrophe

Code:

http://project.com/questions/2/What's-you-all-on-the-forum-doing?

And answer link

Code:

http://project.com/questions/2/What's-you-all-on-the-forum-doing?/42/#42

I have tried using urlencode()

PHP Code:

anchor('questions/' . $question['question_id'] .'/'. str_replace(' ', '-', $question['title']), character_limiter($question['title'], 15), array('target' => '_blank')) 


But now the url outputs

PHP Code:

http://project.com/questions/2/What%27s+you+all+on+the+forum+doing%3F 


How can I still make sure when user has apostrophe, question marks in link title that the url will still work and not throw The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

After doing some more reading through the helpers in url helper I think

url_title() is best suited for my problem https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/h...#url_title

Now question title url

Code:

http://project.com/questions/2/whats-you-all-on-the-forum-doing

And answer url

Code:

http://project.com/questions/2/whats-you-all-on-the-forum-doing/2/#2

Any other suggestions let me know cheers
