When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent?

Question

When encoding a query string to be sent to a web server - when do you use escape() and when do you use encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent()

Answer 1

Modern rewrite of @johann-echavarria's answer:

console.log(
    Array(256)
        .fill()
        .map((ignore, i) => String.fromCharCode(i))
        .filter(
            (char) =>
                encodeURI(char) !== encodeURIComponent(char)
                    ? {
                          character: char,
                          encodeURI: encodeURI(char),
                          encodeURIComponent: encodeURIComponent(char)
                      }
                    : false
        )
)

Or if you can use a table, replace console.log with console.table (for the prettier output).
