Is there an encoding that specifies that the data is binary data, rather than data in any specific encoding?

Encoding? Try this: before you write your string to the binary file, use ConvertEncoding on it to set it to some known encoding like WindowsLatin1 or something, then after you read it back in, use DefineEncoding to set it to the same encoding. The idea is you know what encoding it is when you save it to binary, and you know it's the same encoding after you've read it back out again.
