URL中的字段名称在Internet Explorer上替换为“×”

Question

I'm using the jQuery serialize() and window.open function to get the forms data to another page that will print out a file based on the data.

Before the redirect the URL looks OK (console logged the serialized URL):

renter_postal_address%5D=&times%5Bstart_date%5D=17.06.2019&times%5Bstart_hours%5D=10&times%5Bstart_minutes%5D=56&times%5Bend_date%5D=17.06.2019&times%5Bend_hours%5D=11&times%5Bend_minutes%5D=56

After I reach the desired page the URL looks like this (only on I.E):

renter_postal_address%5D=×%5Bstart_date%5D=17.06.2019×%5Bstart_hours%5D=10×%5Bstart_minutes%5D=56×%5Bend_date%5D=17.06.2019×%5Bend_hours%5D=11×%5Bend_minutes%5D=56

URL on Google Chrome:

?act=rent.fillBookingContractTemplate&item_id=1&data=action=issue_item&item_id=&data%5Bcontract_no%5D=1560762473&data%5Bcurrent_unit_id%5D=&data%5Brenter_personal_code%5D=&data%5Brenter_name%5D=&data%5Brenter_phone%5D=&data%5Brenter_email%5D=&data%5Brenter_postal_address%5D=&times%5Bstart_date%5D=17.06.2019&times%5Bstart_hours%5D=12&times%5Bstart_minutes%5D=07&times%5Bend_date%5D=17.06.2019&times%5Bend_hours%5D=13&times%5Bend_minutes%5D=07&data%5Breturned_to_unit_id%5D=0&data%5Bcountry%5D=Eesti&data%5Breceived_helmets%5D=&data%5Bdocument_id%5D=&data%5Bdocument_issue_date%5D=&data%5Bdocument_valid_to%5D=&data%5Blicence_id%5D=&data%5Blicence_issue_date%5D=&data%5Blicence_valid_to%5D=&data%5Bissuing_comment%5D=

URL on Internet Explorer (latest version):

?act=rent.fillBookingContractTemplate&item_id=1&data=action=issue_item&item_id=&data%5Bcontract_no%5D=1560762453&data%5Bcurrent_unit_id%5D=&data%5Brenter_personal_code%5D=&data%5Brenter_name%5D=&data%5Brenter_phone%5D=&data%5Brenter_email%5D=&data%5Brenter_postal_address%5D=×%5Bstart_date%5D=17.06.2019×%5Bstart_hours%5D=12×%5Bstart_minutes%5D=07×%5Bend_date%5D=17.06.2019×%5Bend_hours%5D=13×%5Bend_minutes%5D=07&data%5Breturned_to_unit_id%5D=0&data%5Bcountry%5D=Eesti&data%5Breceived_helmets%5D=&data%5Bdocument_id%5D=&data%5Bdocument_issue_date%5D=&data%5Bdocument_valid_to%5D=&data%5Blicence_id%5D=&data%5Blicence_issue_date%5D=&data%5Blicence_valid_to%5D=&data%5Bissuing_comment%5D=
