I have a database which contain many name with combination of those characters. Once i will reload them, they will become public web url.
So that visitor if open this url (its valid??): www.example.com/&*Ö::
It will land to a unique page. But do you really allow those characters? Or filter them. Or there is no rule really, anything is allowed.
(I can already see, webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/23964/how-to-allow-nonsense-characters-as-web-url-for-example-and-more, skiped my special characters and only took "and more". Is that the standard? I mean you can delete the main character?)

If you are using the ISO-8859-1 character set, then you can use the following table for reference. You just simply use Entity Name or Entity Number.
HTML ISO-8859-1
EDIT: just re-read your question, am not sure how you can 'convert' the characters directly from your DB to allow browsers to read it correctly.
According to rfc1738 (page 2), unsafe characters should always be encoded. So a direct answer to your question would be, no it should not be allowed.
