//Please follow the steps: 

   byte[] bytes=Encoding.Default.GetBytes(yourText.ToString);

//The code is:

    FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(FullfileName); //file type :  *.text,*.xml 
    string yourText = (char) 0xA0 + @"¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬­®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ";

    using (FileStream s = fileInfo.OpenWrite()) {
                        s.Write(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(yourText.ToString()), 0, yourText.Length);
    }
