There are a few possible solutions for resolving character encoding problems in GitHub Actions while utilizing Verify in C#:

  1. Use the correct encoding: Ensure that you are using the correct encoding in the file being tested, and that it matches the encoding settings in the build environment. You can use a tool like Notepad++ to check and change the encoding of the file, and set the correct options in your code editor and the environment settings.

  2. Set the encoding explicitly: In your test code, you can set the encoding explicitly using the Encoding class. For example, if you want to use UTF-8 encoding, you can use the following code snippet:

using System.Text;
...
Encoding utf8 = Encoding.UTF8;
byte[] encodedBytes = utf8.GetBytes("your text here");
string decodedText = utf8.GetString(encodedBytes);
  1. Use a library that supports multiple encodings: Instead of relying on the default encoding settings, you can use a library that supports multiple encodings, such as System.Text.Encoding. You can also use third-party libraries like Iconv.NET or NCharsetDetector to detect and convert character encodings.

  2. Set the environment encoding: You can set the encoding of the environment where your code is running. For example, you can use the following command in a bash script file:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

This will set the language and encoding to UTF-8 in the environment.

By following these approaches, you can resolve the character encoding problem in GitHub Actions while utilizing Verify in C#.
