Unicode Code of a chracter

How can I find a Unicode Code of a chracter in a string For exmple Unicode of (њ) is 5A 04 Is there any way to find it programmatically

Hello Friends

You can use the Encoding class, like this: byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("њ"); I haven't tested it, so the syntax might be a little bit different. regards

Thanks alot. it worked Now I want to convert this code to hex. How can I do it?

Characters are unicode, so you can just convert it to int: int code = (int)'њ';

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Convert it to int like Guffa said, then display it as hex. To display an int as hex i think you can use .ToString('X');

My current favourite word is: Nipple!

It is probably better to use: char.ConvertToUtf32(string, int)

That works fine - I prefer Convert.ToString(value, base) as you don't have to remember the silly string formats and you can specify base 2, 8, 10 or 16 so is more flexible. :-D

but why? i also usually cast the char to int to get its unicode value

Because .NET has Unicode surrogate pairs, meaning sometimes it takes 2 combined characters to form a complete Unicode code point.
