If you've got it in your table as a string already, it isn't "in" any
particular encoding. Encodings apply to byte sequences - characters in
..NET are all just Unicode.

However, to write the string to a file, you'll want to specify the
appropriate Encoding object - in this case you can just use
Encoding.GetEncoding(1250).
