Deeplinking in UWP app

I have checked and found that deep linking is possible in a UWP app using the steps below:

#1 We need to create a protocol on the app side and add a protocol name, such as 'testdeeplink,' as a unique keyword.

#2 When I call testdeeplink://upgradeplan, it works fine and opens the app.

I have a question: I have a URL like this: https://www.mooninvoice.com/upgradeplan, but the protocol does not support special characters. Is there any other way to use this URL?

Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

    Hi @Jay ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    It is recommended to use web-to-app linking, please check document Enable apps for websites using app URI handlers.

    You need to associate your app and website with a JSON file, here is a sample.

    Thank you.
