   public static void Main()  {
      char[] chars = new char[] { 'z', 'a', '\u0306', '\u01FD', '\u03B2', '\uD8FF', '\uDCFF' };
      ASCIIEncoding enc = new ASCIIEncoding();
      
      Console.Write( "{0,-30} :", enc.ToString() );

      int iBC  = enc.GetByteCount( chars );
      Console.Write( " {0,-3}", iBC );

      int iMBC = enc.GetMaxByteCount( chars.Length );
      Console.Write( " {0,-3} :", iMBC );

      byte[] bytes = enc.GetBytes( chars );

     for ( int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++ )
         Console.Write( "{0:X2} ", bytes[i] );
   }
