I haven't tested this but I think it's a step in the right direction... Change
the encoding of the StreamReader...
.......
using(StreamReader sr = ....){
sr.CurrentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode;
var line = sr.ReadLine();
.......
}
I see this working unless you are having to deal with non-unicode characters
(not likely). There is also an Encoding.UTF32 property that uses 32 bits to
describe it's code page instead of 16 bits.
