View Article#1,000 – UTF-8 and ASCII
UTF-8 is a character encoding scheme for Unicode character data that uses from 1-4 bytes to represent each character, depending on the code point of the character to be represented. In Unicode, code...
View Article#1,001 – Representing Unicode Surrogate Pairs
UTF-16 encodes Unicode code points above U+FFFF using surrogate pairs that take up 4 bytes. You can specify a surrogate pair within a string literal by inserting the character directly into the string...
View Article#1,002 – Specifying Character Encoding when Writing to a File
In .NET, string data is stored in memory as Unicode data encoded as UTF-16 (2 bytes per character, or 4 bytes for surrogate pairs). When you persist string data out to a file, however, you must be...
View Article#1,003 – Accessing Underlying Bytes in a String for Different Encodings
Strings in .NET are stored in memory as Unicode character data, using the UTF-16 encoding. (2 bytes per character, or 4 bytes for surrogate pairs). If you want to get access to the underlying data for...

You can use the string.Length property to get an integer representing the length of a string. In most cases, length means–the number of characters. // 3 Latin (ASCII) characters string simple = "abc";...
View Article#1,007 – Getting Length of String that Contains Surrogate Pairs
You can use the string.Length property to get the length (number of characters) of a string. This only works, however, for Unicode code points that are no larger than U+FFFF. This set of code points...
