Special Characters in Image link

Hi, 

If image name contains the special characters(#) and assign the image path to Thing property, image is not assigning to Thing property. If we go to thing and set the same image manually to Thing, image is assigning to Thing property. 

I have defined Property Type is IMAGELINK

I am using the below code for assign image to Thing property.

var imageName  = "Image #22.PNG"

var imagelinkpath = "/Thingworx/MediaEntities/" + imageName;

Things["XYZ"].Imagepath = imagelinkpath;

Could you suggest what way we can achieve if image name is having the special characters and assign the image to Thing in programmatically?

Thank You

Regards,
