C# Unicode string output

Question

I have a function to convert a string to a Unicode string:

private string UnicodeString(string text)
{
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.ASCII.GetB         


        

Answer 1

private string UnicodeString(string text)
{
    return text;
}

The string text is already in Unicode. All internal C# strings are Unicode. When you convert it to ASCII you lose characters. That is why you get ????? ????.
