Additional Information
This is expected behavior. The solution is to utilize an Arcade expression using the UrlEncode function to encode the value from the popup. Refer to the following link for more information about that function, https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/function-reference/text_functions/#urlencode.Workaround
This article discusses the use of an Arcade function to remove special characters from fields prior to passing them through to the survey. It requires a find and replace statement for every special character, and changes the data.
