Artists copyright, rights business type things.

Hi all wondering if anyone can point me to anywhere or help me out. Basically I'm trying to get my head round some business type stuff.

If I've created a character, how do I make sure no one can copy them?
I'm based in the UK, does copyrighting cost? Do I have to trade mark it?

Also what is it called when everything sold with this character on it ie chocolate, figures, T-shirts earns me money. How does this work? Is this owning rights to it? Royalties? So much terminology!

Thanks in advance!
