That doesn't mean .NET isn't writing it properly though...

It's not the default for StreamWriter, it's the default encoding for
the Windows box you're running it on.

It can. You just can't read it properly.

Ok, notepad shows it ok, so does the VS editor

Wintail and INTERNET EXPLORER (which is suprising) does not.

Yes, because they're assuming the Windows default encoding.

<sigh>

How many times do I need to explain it? C# is working fine - it's just
that your tools don't understand UTF-8. Find a text editor which lets
you pick a UTF-8 encoding, and load the file - you'll see the
characters just fine.

Internet Explorer is probably assuming the Windows default encoding as
well.

How well do you actually understand encodings? You might like to read

Nothing like plugging your own site.

<sigh> if you get tired of explaining nobody forces you to reply to each and
every post out there, no need to step on others to make your ego bigger. Ive
seen you post before, you do the same every time.

I wrote that page (and various others) to save me from explaining
things in detail repeatedly. It's not like I get money from them or
anything - they're just meant to be helpful.

I don't reply to each and every post out there, but it *is*
disconcerting when people clearly don't really read answers. This
thread is pointless - no-one's really saying what .NET is supposedly
doing wrong except in terms of what Notepad/Wintail etc can cope with.
I've explained what's going on numerous times now...

Discussion,

if all you want to do is complain about the people who are here to help you,
perhaps you would feel more at home at this forum instead:
alt.complainers.bitch-n-moan

Others here use this forum as help, and is invaluable for their jobs. I for
one find you quite distasteful to say the least and am asking nicely for you
to be, at the very least respectfull, to the people who take the time to
answer your questions.

Marco.
