That's a fair idea.

Now, how would the syntax be? Assume that you want to send a variable that
contains a = character, how do I escape that?

It is a very simple syntax and making a perl script do it is a matter of a
one-liner:

  echo "test åäö" | perl -e '$_=<STDIN>; $_=~s/([^a-zA-Z0-9_.-])/uc
  sprintf("%%%02x",ord($1))/eg; print "$_\n";'
