Chrome mangles URLs before making requests

Reported by capt.n...@gmail.com, Dec 31 2016 
Example URL:
HTTPS://payments.thebengalkitchen.in/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open URL on Chrome desktop, it works
2. Open URL on Chrome Android, it doesn't work
3. Chrome Android edits the URL to add prefix before the path and that gives a 404

What is the expected behavior?
Page loads

What went wrong?
Chrome Android edits the path before making a request for some reason adding 4 Unicode characters. Will attach a file from desktop to show the server logs.

Did this work before? Yes 

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.91  Channel: stable
OS Version: Marshmallow
Flash Version:

Attaching a file that shows the error.

Chrome Android makes a request to `1.2.3.4 - [31/Dec/2016:03:47:03 +0000] "GET /%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0 HTTP/1.1" 404 38` instead of `/` as would be expected.

All other browsers I've tried (Firefox on Android, Chrome on Desktop) make the request properly.

I guessed (wrongly) that it might be because of http/2, but disabling it still causes the issue.

The first instance I can find of this in my logs is:

1.2.3.4 - [15/Dec/2016:05:58:35 +0000] "GET /%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0 HTTP/1.1" 404 38

So, this happened as a regression somewhere around 15 December?

Closing this as invalid. Seems like an issue in mistyping the URL somewhere that added the unicode characters. They don't show up in the Chrome URL bar and cause issues because the difference is only noticable if you copy the URL in chrome.
