I have a unicode string, let’s say “U+660E”, and I want to display the corresponding character, which in this case is 明. See this page (ctrl-F to find 明).
My code so far:
string unicodeString = reader.GetString(0);
unicodeString.Trim();
Encoding codepage = Encoding.GetEncoding(950);
Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode;
byte[] encodedBytes = codepage.GetBytes(unicodeString);
//unicodeString = Encoding.Convert(codepage, unicode, encodedBytes).ToString();
unicodeString = unicode.GetString(encodedBytes);
richTextBox1.Text = unicodeString;
My output is “⭕㘶䔰�”.
Any idea where I went wrong?
.net deals directly with unicode. You do not have to play the encoding games. Just tell the reader if the input is UTF-8 or UTF-16 and then deal with it as a normal string.
