Percent sign in site title leads to signing up new users not working

Description

When a web site title contains a percent sign, e.g.

Brand name - 100% organic

the process of signing up a new user in /wp-admin/user-new.php will fail with a fatal error, probably because the percent sign is interpreted as a placeholder by sprintf() in /wp-includes/ms-functions.php around line 1105:

Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: 3 arguments are required, 2 given in

Presumably, the web site title needs to be escaped somewhere in the apply_filters() call.

Works fine from my side(WP-v6.1, PHP-v7.4.30). Which PHP version you are using?

Replying to kowsar89:

Huh! Strange.
PHP is 8.1.7.

I can definitely reproduce it (if I add the % in the site title, it breaks, if I remove it, it works).
Will try to reproduce on a completely clean WP install if I can.

Hey @pekkagaiser, thanks for your ticket. I have tried to reproduce as well in a multi-site environment with PHP version 8+. But, I didn't encounter any Fatal errors. Let us know if you can replicate this in a clean install or not. By then, would really appreciate any testing from other peeps.
