Var utf8Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("UTF-8", EncoderFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderFallback.ExceptionFallback) public static string ReadAllTextFromFile(string file) Perhaps there are more clever ways of avoiding the try/catch but I did not bother with devising one.

Since only a small amount of my text data contains difficult character code points, I don't mind the performance overhead of the exception handling, especially since this only had to run once. So, I solved my problem with the following code. The entire article is short and well worth the read. Specifically, Hello, which was U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F, will be stored as 48 65 6C 6C 6F, which, behold! is the same as it was stored in ASCII, and ANSI, and every OEM character set on the planet. Only the rest of the world has to jump through hoops. UTF-8 has the neat side effect that English text looks exactly the same in UTF-8 as it did in ASCII, so Americans don’t even notice anything wrong.

So, I also set out "to detect which encoding the input file has" and after reading How to detect the character encoding of a text file? and How to determine the encoding of text? arrived at the conclusion that this would be difficult at best.īUT, I found The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets in the comments, read it, and found this gem: Also, the latest of the text data DOES contain UTF8 code points, so it's a mixed bag. This happens only some of the time, UTF8 works the majority of the time. None of the files have a BOM, and the oldest of the files contain Codepage 1252 code points that cause incorrect decoding to UTF8. I found this question while working to process a large collection of ancient text files into well formatted PDFs. Need to know how to convert the character encoding from (ANSI / UTF8) to (UTF8 / ANSI) while preserving all special characters.
Which is easier for my solving my problem? Converting ANSI to UTF8 (and/or the other way round) or trying to detect which encoding the input file has and notifying the user about it?.Isn't there an industry standard for vCard files' character encoding?.And God knows in what formats the other phones save them in!

I've noticed that Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones save the backup VCF file in UTF-8 (without BOM), but Android saves it in ANSI (1252).
I am basically writing a program that splits vCard files (VCF) into individual files, each containing a single contact. How do I convert ANSI (Codepage 1252) to UTF-8, while preserving the special characters? (I am aware that UTF-8 supports a larger character set than ANSI, but it is okay if I can preserve all UTF-8 characters that are supported by ANSI and substitute the rest with a ? or something) I've asked this before in a round-about manner before here on Stack Overflow, and want to get it right this time.
