[Solved] Encoding.GetEncoding(“Cyrillic”) making all text question marks in .NET

The text was in some sort of Unicode encoding and why it was acting differently then before with ASCII encoded text. So I did this below before the GetEncoding and it works now. if(!txt.IsNormalized(NormalizationForm.FormKD)) { txt= txt.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormKD); } solved Encoding.GetEncoding(“Cyrillic”) making all text question marks in .NET
