Your c# string is allready Unicode. See String Class (System)[^]

Try UTF8 instead of Unicode , it works for Serbian latin and cyrilic fonts.

Solution 1

c# strings are Unicode strings. It represents text as a sequence of UTF-16 code units.

Read e.g. this: String Class (System)[^]

[Edit]
Not a short read, but to understand unicode, you most probably Need to go through several articles liek this: Unicode and You – BetterExplained[^]

Please see also Still fighting with the terminologies of unicode vs. encoding - C# Discussion Boards[^]

Yep. It is also the first link in the (on the second line) in the link I provided :-)

[Edit]
Both of them discuss this (in my opinion) minor thing like BOM, but do not go further into a close description for surrogates
