How to name a .aspx page with special characters in the name?

Really simple problem, I wanted to create a .aspx page that has special characters in the URL/file name. Here is a simple general example of what I am trying to do:

http://www.example.com/my-aspx-page-in-C%23.aspx

Note that in this case C%23 means "C#" once URL decoded. I want to do this so that search engines will index the special characters in question.

OK - so how do I do this? I don't think I can create an ASPX page with special characters in the actual file name. And while it is probably possible to create a module of some kind that does this, I was hoping there might be a much simpler way to do this.

Thoughts?

You can use friendly URLs in ASP.NET. Here's a tutorial:

Please bear in mind that % is considered an unsafe character in a URL. If you are unaware of what this is, please review the concept of unsafe and reserved characters in URLs:
