extended = 'filename=logo.txt\\x80\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x01x&filename=.hidden.txt'
fixbytes = bytes(extended, 'utf-8')
fixbytes = fixbytes.decode("unicode_escape")
algoext = '?' urllib.parse.quote(fixbytes, safe='?&=')
This outputs
b'filename=logo.txt\\x80\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x01x&filename=.hidden.txt'
filename=logo.txtx&filename=.hidden.txt
?filename=logo.txt x&filename=.hidden.txt
