Does anybody know what this number in the api call means?

In the link: 

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=u%25&type=track&limit=1&offset=420

what does the "25" mean? I bolded it

Hey @timmyvc123, thanks for coming to the Community for help!

The percentage sign in a URL followed by number usually means this is an encoded character. You can check out this page for more information. It seems that %25 stands for '%'. Let me know if you have any questions!

Have a good one,

So "25" doesn't have any special meaning to it. It wont effect the request?
