How to find Encoding for 1251 codepage
The .NET Framework/.NET Core supports a large number of character encodings and code pages. To retrieve an encoding that is present in the .NET Framework/.NET Core pass the EncodingProvider object to the Encoding.RegisterProvider method to make the encodings supplied by the EncodingProvider object available to the common language runtime. Microsoft Document Reference
System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider(System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
Correct, you will get different results on different machines if you use Encoding.Default
.
If you want a specific codepage, you can use Encoding.GetEncoding:
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1251");
For .NET Core you also need to reference the System.Text.Encoding.CodePages package and then use Encoding.RegisterProvider:
Encoding.RegisterProvider(CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
