Csharp/CSharp Tutorial/I18N Internationalization/Encoding UTF8

Convert the UTF-16 encoded source string to UTF-8

<source lang="csharp">using System; using System.IO; using System.Text; class MainClass {

   public static void Main() 
   {        
       using (StreamWriter output = new StreamWriter("output.txt")) 
       {
           string srcString = "Area = \u03A0r^2";
           byte[] utf8String = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(srcString);
           output.WriteLine("UTF-8  Bytes: {0}", BitConverter.ToString(utf8String));
       }
   }

}</source>

Encodings: Encoding.UTF8

<source lang="csharp">using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; using System.Resources; using System.Text; using System.Threading; using System.Globalization; public class MainClass {

   public static void Main()
   {
       Encoding utf8 = Encoding.UTF8;
       Console.WriteLine(utf8);
   }

}</source>

System.Text.UTF8Encoding

Write the UTF-8 encoded byte arrays

<source lang="csharp">using System; using System.IO; using System.Text; class MainClass {

   public static void Main() 
   {        
       using (StreamWriter output = new StreamWriter("output.txt")) 
       {
           string srcString = "Area = \u03A0r^2";
           byte[] utf8String = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(srcString);
           output.WriteLine("UTF-8  Bytes: {0}", BitConverter.ToString(utf8String));
       }
   }
