Character encoding issues

[Jeff Williams]

Hi Stephen,

I just watched your NDC video. I noticed that in your examples you convert string to bytes using:

Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes()

And then convert bytes to string again using:

Encoding.UTF8.GetString()

While this works find for the english alphabet, as soon as you throw in a few non-acsii characters (like æ,ø and å here in Norway), it will fail. You should use:

Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()

To convert the string to bytes.

Other than that, interesting video.

Thanks. Definitely a mistake. Thanks for spotting it. Steve On 4 October 2018 at 15:57:04, Jeff Williams ([e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]>) wrote: Hi Stephen, I just watched your NDC video.
