Answer 1

UTF-8 + URL Encoding.

Answer 2

URL Encoding: See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

It's a URL encoding in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. are replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces encoded as plus (+) signs. It is encoded the same way that the posted data from a WWW form is encoded, that is the same way as in application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type.
