Redirect URLs without hashbang to URLs with hashbang using AngularJS

Question

Since upgrading to AngularJS 1.6, hashbangs are defaulted.

How would I redirect formerly distributed URLs to transform to a version with the hashbang?

For example www.myu.rl/#/hello/ would then become www.myu.rl/#!/hello

Currently it navigates to www.myu.rl/#!#%2F/hello, which redirects to the home page.

If you want to keep the hash-bang mode (#!/), then set your hash-prefix to:

$location.hashPrefix('!');
