I am writing an asp.net mvc application that allows users to upload CSV files.
My application needs to accomodate french accented characters.  
I have noticed that if a CSV file has an encoding of ANSI, the accented characters are lost and replaced with question marks "?".
I have also noticed that if the encoding is UTF-8, the accents are preserved.
Is there a way that I can preserve the accents of files that are uploaded with ANSI encoding, on the server side?
