Hi,

Special Characters of French being converted into black diamond with question mark into Email on Server but at localhost everything is ok

Example:- Conversion of special characters

Real Word:- Converted into Mail
d’avoir = d�avoir
à = �
procédure = proc�dure

What I have tried:

var msg = new SendGridMessage();
string to = objContractorOperationEmail.To;
msg.AddTo(to);
msg.SetSubject(objContractorOperationEmail.Subject);
msg.AddContent(MimeType.Html, objContractorOperationEmail.Body);
Send(msg);

public void Send(SendGridMessage msg)
{
var client = new SendGridClient(_mailConfig.Value.SendgridKey);
msg.From = new EmailAddress(_mailConfig.Value.FromEmail, _mailConfig.Value.FromName);
client.SendEmailAsync(msg);
}

I have encoded my body string into "ISO-8859-1", but now string being converted into "question mark(?)" from "black diamond question mark" as given below...
d�avoir = d?avoir
à = ?
procédure = proc?dure

Following given code i'm using for conversion.....
-----------------
public string EncodeISO(string name)
{
Encoding objISO = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
string s_unicode = name;

// Convert to ISO-8859-1 bytes.
byte[] isoBytes = objISO.GetBytes(s_unicode);

string str = objISO.GetString(isoBytes);
return str;
}

It says at the bottom of the thread I gave you a link to "I believe this issue is now fixed at the API level. Please let us know if you continue to experience any issues."
You need to raise an Issue there. Not sure why you are encoding to that instead of UTF-8 but I haven't read all the documentation on the link.

I have also encoded my code on "UTF-8" but still getting same result. So i would have to make some changes at my code to run it on Server because on localhost it's already running no need to encode my code......

Encoding objISO = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
Encoding objUTF = Encoding.UTF8;

// Unicode string.
string s_unicode = name;

// Convert to ISO-8859-1 bytes.
byte[] isoBytes = objISO.GetBytes(s_unicode);

// Convert to UTF-8.
byte[] utf8Bytes = Encoding.Convert(objISO, objUTF, isoBytes);

string utf8str = objUTF.GetString(utf8Bytes);
return utf8str;
