C# String.Replace not finding / replacing Symbol (™, ®)

Question

Basically what I'm trying to do is replace a symbol like ™, ® etc with something else but when I call

myString = myString.Replace("®", "something else")

Its doesn't do anything

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

try myString.Replace("\u00A9", "else"); you have to escape the ©

Answer 2

When you use String.Replace you create a new string. It is a very common mistake to believe the the supplied string is modified. However, strings in .NET are immutable and cannot be modified.

You have to call it like this:

myString = myString.Replace("®", "something else");
