public class Main{

                //unicodeString = "This string contains the unicode character Pi(\u03a0)";

                // Create two different encodings.
                Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
                Encoding unicode = Encoding.Unicode;

                // Convert the string into a byte[].
                byte[] asciiBytes = ascii.GetBytes(asciiString);

                // Perform the conversion from one encoding to the other.
                byte[] unicodeBytes = Encoding.Convert(ascii, unicode, asciiBytes);

                // Convert the new byte[] into a char[] and then into a string.
                // This is a slightly different approach to converting to illustrate
                // the use of GetCharCount/GetChars.
                char[] unicodeChars = new char[unicode.GetCharCount(unicodeBytes, 0, unicodeBytes.Length)];
                unicode.GetChars(unicodeBytes, 0, unicodeBytes.Length, unicodeChars, 0);
                string unicodeString = new string(unicodeChars);

                // Display the strings created before and after the conversion.
                Console.WriteLine(@"Original string: {0}", unicodeString);
                Console.WriteLine(@"Ascii converted string: {0}", asciiString);

                return unicodeString;
