Answer: urlencode them as explained in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding

>      emacsclient org-protocol:/capture:/x/URL/TITLE/BODY

> org-protocol handler.  Killing client.“ because TITLE (the

> I tried to quote the slashes with slashes but this chops of part

A function to do so in bash can be found at:
