Link URL gets cut off after special character

I have a button on my home page. The link contains a question mark example

  http://url.com/my_app/#/store/items?page=2

this is the code for my button

<form action="http://url.com/my_app/#/store/items?page=2" method="get">
    <input type="submit" value="Click here">
</form>

The link doesn't take you to the correct site. The URL is cut off after the "?" like so 

http://url.com/my_app/#/store/items

I tried to use ascii encoding but it still fails the same

<form action="http://url.com/my_app/#/store/items%3Fpage=2" accept-charset="UTF-8">
    <input type="submit" value="Click here">
</form>

To me it looks like the question mark is a special character and needs to be escaped but I haven't seen a similar question online.

Does anyone know why the URL is being cut off?

Hidden inputs can be used to send additional information that you want to process along with the form information. This should fix the issue:

<form action="http://url.com/my_app/#/store/items" method="get">
   <input type="hidden" name="page" value="2"/>
   <input type="submit" value="Click here">
</form>
