I am trying to get the current selected text which contains a non-break space character for example the following in HTML

non-breaking space

using window.getSelection().toString(). However on encoding the result as a URI I get

non-breaking%20space

but in UTF-8 the result should be 

non-breaking%C2%A0space

Demo of the issue: https://kartikprabhu.com/static/demo/selection-encodeURI.html

Feel free to copy the JS inline if need be.
