What would cause %5B%5D converts to %5B0%5D?

When I post link on my website, If the link consists of %5B%5D characters it converts to %5B0%5D when I click on that link.

if there is multiple occurrence of %5B%5D in link, then on the first occurrence it changes to %5B0%5D, on second occurrence it changes to %5B1%5D and so on, the number between %5B and %5D increases by 1 everytime it occurs in url.

Also we face this issue when we try to open the posted link via mobile device.

If we open the link on any desktop then nothing adds between %5B%5D.

Some characters are URI encoded before being passed by URL. If you go to https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ and try to decode your %XX you'll find that :

%5B stands for [ and %5D stands for ]

So %5B0%5D is the encoded version of [0], %5B1%5D is the encoded version of [1] and so on.

This means you are probably passing some array-like data through your links.
