title: How do I read special characters from a file?
body: <p>In C#, I am reading insert SQL statements from a text file and then trying to execute them on a database using ADO.NET.  Several of the queries include a greek character in one of the columns.  Specifically, Mu (funky looking u) that is used for microseconds (usec).  The problem is that question marks are actually being inserted into the database (?sec).  But, I have a feeling the problem is in the reading of the text file because the debugger is also showing a question mark inside of a diamond.  I am using the ReadLine method of a StreamReader.  What am I doing wrong?</p>
