I have recently learned that sql server 2005 does not support UTF8:

UTF8 problem sql server

I believe it supports UCS-2 though and look for a way to transform UTF8 to UCS-2 without loss of information if possible. Is it?

Any feedback would be very much welcome. Thanks!

    It looks like you have a text file encoded in UTF-8 and you want to re-encode it to UCS-2. StreamReader and StreamWriter support encoding automatically; you supply an Encoding object in their constructors.

    You should be able to:

    1. Construct a StreamReader with Encoding.UTF8
    2. Construct a StreamWriter with Encoding.Unicode
    3. Read lines from the reader and write them to the writer
