I would say - Open the xml file in Visual Studio and Go to File > Advanced Save Options and select Unicode (UTF-8).

If this solution doesn't work for you then see the following links:

Hi,

I tried in the following way but still results coming up in utf-16

strXML1-- Converted my xml to string.

var utf8String = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strXML1);
string utf8str = BitConverter.ToString(utf8String);
string final = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(utf8String);

can anyone rectify it ?

Thanks
