+Summary: Encoding problem
+
+I am a chinese, I write source code int gb18030 encoding.
+For example, I may write:
+  string str = "??"; // ?? is a chinese word encoding in gb18030
+When mcs compile the source code, it can not read the source code
+correctly. Variable str is not the correct Unicode string correspoding to
+my chinese encoding. 
+When I type locale in the console. All the locale enviroment variable is
+GB18030;
+I think mcs should read the source code in the default encoding of the
+system. Then translate it to Unicode to process.

+MCS uses the 28591 code page by default (ISO-Latin-1), I am not sure
+it is a great idea to change the default to be environment dependant.
+
+You might want to try instead:
+
+mcs -codepage:936 source.cs
+
+Please tell me if that fixes your problem.
+
+Am setting the bug to `NEEDINFO', please update the bug status with
+any further information.
