Github-readme-stats: Top Languages Card not hiding C++

[thisispratt]

Description

The top languages card is unable to hide the C++ language.
I tried it both ways:

1. PHP was hidden but c++ was not.

1. https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=thisispratt&hide=["PHP","C++"]

Expected behavior

C++ should be hidden with the &hide=c++ or &hide=cpp

It is because we currently don't encode the symbols for you in the URL query.

Try this query: https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=thisispratt&hide=c%2B%2B,php

Thanks! it works fine.
Can you please explain what this 2B does?

[terror]

Some characters in URLs have special roles, so you if you're not using them for their specific role you have to encode them. %2B is the encoded version of "+".

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding for further reference
