title: What is the default encoding when saving a text file
body: <p>When saving a text file client gets 'Â' character infront of every currency sign.</p>
  
  <p>I tried the following but still getting strange characters</p>
  
  <pre><code>using (StreamWriter sr = new StreamWriter(path, false, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8))
  {
      sr.Write(text);
  }
  using (StreamWriter sr = File.CreateText(path))
  {
      sr.Write(text);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any suggestions on how to save a file without any encoding?</p>
