Unicode or what?

Hello, I've got this problem when I came across saving a text file pasted from a site to a RichTextBox. Example of this character that could cause a problem would be

“The senators are is...

Note the double quote. It's not an ordinary quote I guess because when saved as

Code:

			s = string.Format("<html><head><link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css'></head><body><blockquote>{0}</blockquote></body></html>", s);
			byte[] content = UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(s);
			FileStream w = new FileStream(Application.StartupPath + "\\test.html", FileMode.Create);
			w.Write(content, 0, content.Length);

s is an RTB.Text. Now when Process.Start("iexplore", "test.html"); the double quote colored red is displayed as a little square. I guess it's implying it's not noticeable.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

have you tried setting charset in Internet Exploder (View -> Encoding) ? Might be that you method is not correctly setting the BOM (byte order mark) or something obscure.

The thing pen is, it displays when I saved it to database and retreive it. My app should have a preview functionality. Say, I copy paste an article from the net to my RTB. Example would be the

“That’s queer.

having a not ordinary quote. The problem happens when I saved it to a .html and view it on iexplore. The problem doesn't seem to occur when that text (even with the [I don't know] quote) is saved on the database and retreive on a webpage.
