Hi,

How can I see if the input string is a two byte character or one byte character; and from which encoding system the character is coming from?

I am using C# and SilverLight; I assume I could find the encoding the computer is running and then the character? Any code snippet?

Thank you, Rune

// Get a UTF-32 encoding by name.Encoding Encoding_UTF32_instance = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-32");
