Where `TYPE` is a standard ABI type name, as defined in [Ethereum Contract ABI specification](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI). `STRING` is a URL-encoded unicode string of arbitrary length, where delimiters and the percentage symbol (`%`) are mandatorily hex-encoded with a `%` prefix.

`UNIT` is a URL-encoded unicode string. If `UNIT` is ETH, it always means a multiplier of 10<sup>18</sup>. If it is something
else AND the addressed contract has a `symbol` field exactly matching this string AND the contract has a `decimals` field, then
10 to that power is used as a multiplier. Otherwise, the payment request is deemed invalid. Applications that have no access to
the blockchain should refuse accepting requests with a non-empty `UNIT`, if it is not ETH.
Note that a `number` can be expressed in *scientific notation*, with a multiplier of a power of 10. The use of this notation is strongly encouraged when expressing monetary value in Ethers or ERC #20 tokens in atomic units (e. g. Wei, in case of Ether).
