 Encoding.Default however is a code page based on environment variables or 
 other system settings.
 
 I think the code page used for Encoding.Default would be more proper for 
 interop ANSI strings as well because that is based on the system settings 
 and is probably in use on system that may differ from UTF-8.

+This by-design issue should be ignored. Kornel pretty much understands
+the argument that (1) it is Microsoft/ECMA to blame for not having
+alternative to specify UTF8 in System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet, 
+(2) how the concept of "ANSI" encoding is broken, (3) such a change
+will break Gtk# on Windows and there is no other way to solve the
+issue, *and* still tries to flood. It is like complaining against
+final and conclusive judgment, ignoring res adjudicata.
