Ascii To Unicode Converter C

Convert ASCII Character Array to Unicode String

Introduction

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that uses 7 bits to represent 128 characters. Unicode, on the other hand, is a character encoding standard that uses variable-length bit sequences to represent a wide range of characters, including those from many different writing systems. It is possible to convert an ASCII character array to a Unicode string using the Encoding.ASCII.Convert() method. This method takes an ASCII character array as input and returns a Unicode string as output.

Encoding and Decoding

Encoding is the process of converting a string of characters into a sequence of bytes. Decoding is the process of converting a sequence of bytes back into a string of characters. The Encoding.ASCII.Convert() method uses the ASCII encoding standard to encode the ASCII character array into a sequence of bytes. It then decodes the sequence of bytes into a Unicode string using the Unicode encoding standard.

Example

The following code sample shows how to use the Encoding.ASCII.Convert() method to convert an ASCII character array to a Unicode string: byte[] asciiBytes = { 65, 66, 67 }; string unicodeString = Encoding.ASCII.Convert(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length); Console.WriteLine(unicodeString); The output of the code sample is: ABC

Conclusion

The Encoding.ASCII.Convert() method provides a convenient way to convert an ASCII character array to a Unicode string. This method can be used in a variety of applications, such as converting text files from ASCII to Unicode format.
