If you try to encode your url, this way.

HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) 
                        new URL("https://url?UserName"+URLEncoder.encode(username, "UTF-8")+"&Password="+URLEncoder.encode(password, "UTF-8"))
                        .openConnection();
                
                connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
                connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
                InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();

BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF-8"));

//rest your code
