If your LANG environment variable contains the terminator UTF-8 (for example mine is LANG=en_US.UTF-8) it will process its input files as UTF-8 • You can control the encoding used by the compilers using the -codepage: command line option, for the special case of utf-8, you can use: -codepage:utf8 to inform the compiler that your sources are in UTF-8, for more codepages, see the manual page for the compiler. • CIL executables generated by the Mono compilers store everything in UTF-16 encodings. • If you are dealing with ASP.NET that invokes the compiler automatically for you, you can control the encoding used by specifying this on the web config file. See the reference for [[Config_system.web_globalization|web/globalization] for details. The above takes care of converting the input you provide to Mono compilers and runtimes into Unicode. Another issue is how these characters get rendered into the sc
