title: Converting problem ANSI to UTF8 C#
body: <p>I have a problem with converting a text file from ANSI to UTF8 in c#. I try to display the results in a browser.</p>
  
  <p>So I have a this text file with many accent character in it. Its encoded in ANSI, so I have to convert it to utf8 because in the browser instead of the accentchars appearing "?". No matter how I tried to convert to UTF8 it was still a "?". But if I convert the text file in notepad++ to utf8 then the accent chars are desplayed good.</p>
  
  <p>here is a peace of encoding code that I made:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    public string Encode(string text)
      {
          // encode the string as an ASCII byte array
          byte[] myASCIIBytes = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(text);
  
          // convert the ASCII byte array to a UTF-8 byte array
          byte[] myUTF8Bytes = ASCIIEncoding.Convert(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII, UTF8Encoding.UTF8, myASCIIBytes);
  
          // reconstitute a string from the UTF-8 byte array 
          return UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(myUTF8Bytes);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do you have any idea why is this happening?</p>
