Answer 1

Character encoding is the encoding of strings to bytes (or numbers). You are only showing us the characters itself. They don't have any encoding by themselves.

Some character encodings have a different range of characters that they can encode. Your characters are all in the ASCII range at least. So they would also be compatible with any scheme that incorporates ASCII as a subset such as Windows-1252 and of course Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE etc).

Note that your code looks a lot like base 64. Base 64 is not a character encoding though, it is the encoding of bytes into characters (so the other way around). Base 64 can usually be recognized by looking for / and + characters in the text, as well as the text consisting of blocks that are a multiple of 4 characters (as 4 characters encode 3 bytes).

Looking at the text you are probably looking for an encoding scheme rather than a character-encoding scheme.
