 `sanitize_text_field` function strips out valid characters like for
 example `%de` from `%description%`

 I cannot find other combinations of such but noticed this issue when a
 user reported for my plugin. Not sure if there are more.

 Example:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 echo sanitize_text_field( 'Hello %description% world' );
 ?>
 }}}

 Outputs

 {{{
 Hello scription% world
 }}}
