List of valid characters for the fragment identifier in an URL?

Question

I\'m using the fragment identifier to create a permalink for AJAX events in my web app similar to this guy. Something like:

http://www.myapp.com/calendar#fi

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5:

fragment    = *( pchar / "/" / "?" )

and

pchar         = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@"
unreserved    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
sub-delims    = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
              / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="
pct-encoded   = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG

So, combined, the fragment cannot contain #, a raw %, ^, [, ], {, }, \, ", < and > according to the RFC.
