Android webview not displaying '%' character

Question

I have a WebView using following code:

WebView webView = new WebView(cont);
webView.loadData("Red 20%", "text/html", "utf-8");

It is having trouble showing the string. But if I remove the '%' character from the string it is showing properly. What is wrong with the code? How do I display '%' in WebView?

Answer 1

Simple:

WebView webView = new WebView(cont);
webView.loadData("Red 20%", "text/html", "utf-8");
