I find differents use case to complete. The other issue on same subject : https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9449

For parentheses, we should work with 2 behavior, here is 2 examples :

• The last parenthese is NOT in the URL: The signal github (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android)
• The last parenthese IS IN the URL : the movies's page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdose_(film,_1987)

In the same Way, we could have 2 differents behavior for final dot :

• dot MUST be include in URL : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okta,_Inc.
• dot NOT include ine the URL : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammurabi.

2 ideas to fix theses issues :

parenthese : without an open parenthese in URL => don't include the closing parenthese parenthese : witht an open parenthese in URL => include the closing parenthese

Final dot : always include the dot in the URL (this is a valid car pour URL), To avoid include the "sentece" dot in url : we should add a space between the end of URL and the dot.
