I have a situation where i cannot convert unicode "Química" directly to UTF8
because of Acute( í ).
Solution i found was to convert unicode to ANSI first then to UTF8
But need help in converting to ANSI. Most of the example shows ASCII conversion it wont help me.

By "unicode" do you meanEncoding.Unicode(which is UTF-16)? Both UTF-16 and UTF-8 are character encodings for the Unicode character set. Please edit to show your source data (and/or code). BTW—Stringis a datatype for UTF-16. Please indicate if you are usingString.

ALL UTF encodings support the entire Unicode repertoire of characters, by design. So your claim that you "cannot convert unicode "Química" directly to UTF8 because of Acute( í )" is just plain wrong. UTF-8 most definitely supports that.System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Química")works just fine (íis encoded as bytes0xC3 0xADin UTF-8). The same can't be said for ANSI, though. Converting a Unicode string to UTF-8 is lossless. Converting a Unicode string to ANSI is lossy.
