 `%10` - `%99` are valid percents for the Arabic languages. [The Arabic
 percentage
 usage]https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A9_%D9%85%D8%A6%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%A9.

 As I can see [here]https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.7/src
 /wp-includes/formatting.php#L5409, removing all octets, but I'm not sure
 that it's really for security reasons. Anyone could approve that this code
 really important here?
