Answer 1

@ Is HTML Encoding for @ It's also known as HTML Entities.

In C# you can use the httpUtilities class to decode and encode values.

@

is HTML encoding for the character with decimal value 64, which is the @ character.

(Note if you type that sequence into your question without the backticks, it is translated to the @)

You can find out what the actual character is meant to be using a unicode table. The following one is handy because it also provides decimal values:
