Deep Linking with Filters -- Special Characters?

I have a beast mode that I am using to pass along page filters as a hyperlink. It looks like deep linking does not properly work with special characters like a "+" sign.
Beast Mode:
case when `Designation` != 'Subject' then
CONCAT('<a href=''https://woodpartners.domo.com/page/2101023617?pfilters=['
,'{"column":"Name and Comp For","dataType":"string","operand":"IN","values":["'
,CONCAT(`Name`, ' ', `Comp For`)
,'"]}'
,']'' target="_blank" title="Open in Domo">',`Name`,'</a>'
)
else `Name` end
Example:
Field value is: 'L+O The Weddington'
The Filter that shows up on the linked page is: 'L O The Weddington'
The cards on the linked page are then invalid/"no data in filtered range".
Question:
Is there a workaround or some trick possible within the beast mode that could help recognize these special characters? Perhaps add some conditions where the field contains a '+', and rename it accordingly? Is there anything a bit simpler/more elegant?
Appreciate any insights and help, thank you!

you are constructing a URL.
I'm not sure this is the solution, but you know how spaces in URLs get converted into %20. I imagine + is a reserved character, so you have to find the equivalent for the symobl. Or google 'escape character url' i don't know if that's a thing.

You'll need to URL encode your special characters. There's several websites which can do this for you if you're not certain how to do this on your own. Try this: https://url-decode.com
