Use Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes and Encoding.UTF8.GetString.

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html for more
information.

I think that is what i was looking for. Is it possible to use any
encoding?

ie. BG5 or simplified chinese, 'chenese'?

Thanks.

Yup - you need to either know the name of the encoding, or the code
page for it. You can then use Encoding.GetEncoding to get you the right
encoding.
