Answer 1

I think you are looking for something like this

    String str="œ";
    var bytes = Encoding.GetEncoding("Windows-1252").GetBytes(s);
    string binStr = string.Join("", bytes.Select(b => Convert.ToString(b, 2)));
    int decimalEquivalent=Convert.ToInt32(binStr,2);
    Console.WriteLine(decimalEquivalent);

this is working for ASCII [128-255]
