"\x3c" => '<' (open bracket)
"\x3e" => '>' (close bracket)
"\x3d" => '=' (equal)
What name is given to the encoding method used above? (\x~~
)
It seems to not be URL encoding. It could be a type of utf-8 encoding, but I don't know.

It's not an encoding in the sense of a character encoding (e.g. UTF-8, ANSI, etc.). It's the syntax used to express hexadecimal character literals in many programming languages.
