Answer 1

Why are you making things complicated?

line = line.Replace('à', 'a');

Update:

The docs for File.ReadAllText say:

This method attempts to automatically detect the encoding of a file based on the presence of byte order marks. Encoding formats UTF-8 and UTF-32 (both big-endian and little-endian) can be detected.

Use the ReadAllText(String, Encoding) method overload when reading files that might contain imported text, because unrecognized characters may not be read correctly.

What encoding is C:/Joiner.csv in? Maybe you should use the other overload for File.ReadAllText where you specify the input encoding yourself?
