Does it matter if you use _ or %5F in urls?

eg this is an external link I use to point to Computer/Video Games in
an Amazon Astore:

http://astore.amazon.com/evolutiresear-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=23

and it shows up exactly like that in the browser when the page is
loaded.

If I click on the Computer/Video Games link which is in the Astore then
this is what shows up (after removing the cookie):

http://astore.amazon.com/evolutiresear-20?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=23

Does it make any difference which one I use? (with regard to search
engines, cookies, etc.)

Thanks! :)
