Convert character reference to unicode/utf-8

Hi,

Is there someone who has got som tips on how to convert text encoded with
character referense to unicode or uft-8 format using VB.net. Is there a
function or something that can help with the conversion?

To use a simple replace "this" with "that" is not an option since there are
som asian-texts that I need to convert as well. (chinese, thai and japanese;
the replace list would be to large to handle)

Best regards
Daniel

Hi Cor,

thanks for the answer, but it doesn't look like it can handle character
referense (i.e. Ӓ ) or perhaps I missed something in the example?

Best regards

The W3C validation parser, http://validator.w3.org, tells me that this character and the ones around it are illegal - then, after resubmission it flags no errors. So, are there any illegal characters between 0 and 255 in the UTF-8 character set or is it just my imagination that the W3C validation parser thinks there are -...

My Friends: I am using std::ofstream (as well as ifstream), I hope that when i wrote in some std::string(...) with locale, ofstream can convert to UTF-8 encoding and save file to disk. So does ifstream. Something I found shows that, I need to have a proper codecvt to set it. I need more information, maybe a small piece of code sample. Thank you!

Hi This is going to be a question for anyone who is an expert in C# Text Encoding. My situation is this: I have a Sybase database which is firing back ISO-8559 encoded strings. I am unable to get the db to translate to UTF-8 for non technical reasons. So I have a string coming back with the character œ (ISO value 156). this character appears in .NET as a box character because 156 is not a valid Unicode character value. I have been...

From python manual str( ) Return a string containing a nicely printable representation of an object. For strings, this returns the string itself. The difference with repr(object) is that str(object) does not always attempt to return a string that is acceptable to eval(); its goal is to return a printable string. If no argument is given, returns the empty string, ''.
