[Mono-devel-list] Special Characters

[Rafael Teixeira]

Probably your source file is in some other encoding than windows-1252,
probably utf-8, you have to instruct mcs to recognize it using the
-codepage command line option. For utf-8 you use:

mcs -codepage:utf8 yoursource.cs ...

I still don't like this new behaviour in mcs, but we still could not
be the necessary supporting classes as smart as the logic MS's C#
compiler (csc.exe) uses to discover if a file is encoded in utf-8,
even if the BOM marker based signature
(http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM) is not present, as is
normally generated by most linux text editors nowadays...

Hope it helps,
