Convert charref ({) to normal letters

Hi I asked this question a couple of days ago as well but I didn't get any
answers that I could use.

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)

What i want to do is to be able to compare a file coded with character
references (i.e. {) with a file coded with normal unicode characters
(i.e. ö,ä,å)

Best regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

These questions like yours in the dotnet newsgroups are mostly answered by
Jay B. Harlow, however even more by Jon Skeet, however Jon is definitly not
VB.net.

So I think you have more change, when you ask this question as well in the
newsgroup

Microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l as well.

There is Jon often active.

Has someone got a Python routine or module which converts Unicode strings to lowercase (or uppercase)? What I actually need to do is to compare a number of strings in a case-insensitive manner, so I assume it's simplest to convert to lower/upper first. Possibly all strings will be from the latin-1 character set, so I could convert to 8-bit latin-1, map to lowercase, and convert back, but that seems rather cumbersome.
