I received a crash report from an application which was trying to read XML from a file it had previously written. After requesting the user send me the file, I compared it with what should have been written and found a really odd problem I haven't come across before.Some (but not all) of the \[code\]i\[/code\] characters had been replaced with \[code\]?\[/code\] - a dotless i. For example, a node named "title" was fine, but a node named "initialdirectory" had the first i replaced, the second was left alone, i.e. \[code\]?nitialdirectory\[/code\].Until today I wasn't even aware there was such a character, but now I do and I just don't know how it was written like that - the XML was written using an \[code\]XmlWriter\[/code\] with UTF8 encoding. Just a normal everyday write, nothing complicated.I normally (well, since getting Resharper and it yells at me for skipping the parameter) use \[code\]StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase\[/code\] when doing \[code\]IndexOf\[/code\] etc, but I'm at a loss on how I'm supposed to do this when writing data, unless I'm supposed to start changing thread cultures.Has anyone experienced a similar issue before, and if so, what's the best way to deal with it?
