Url Unicode characters encoding

Question

How to encode URLs containing Unicode? I would like to pass it to a command line utility and I need to encode it first.

Example: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/白

Answer 1

Server.UrlEncode(s);

.NET strings are natively Unicode strings (UTF-8 encoded, to be specific) so you need to nothing more than invoke HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode (though the so-called "intrinsic" Server property will be available in most contexts in asp.net where you may want to do this).
