Prob. on Hebrew encoding

Question

I have a hebrew text just as "×گض¸×¨ض´×™×،ض°×ک×•ض¹×ں", and I want to convert it to readable unicode hebrew charackters.

I tried this code:

const string Str = "×گض¸×¨ض´×™×،ض°×ک×•ض¹×ں";

Encoding enc1 = Encoding.Default;
Encoding enc2 = Encoding.Unicode;

byte[] bytes = enc1.GetBytes(Str);

string hebrewString = enc2.GetString(bytes);

label1.Text = hebrewString;

But it didn't succeeded. Please Help.

Update the text come from html source code

It seems you Str is not a valid Hebrew string.

Checking some possible encodings it seems it's a Hebrew (Windows):

 const string Str = "×گض¸×¨ض´×™×،ض°×ک×•ض¹×ں";

 Encoding origionEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1256); //assume the string was encoded as arabic

 byte[] bytes = origionEncoding.GetBytes(Str);

 Encoding desEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1255);       //Hebrew (Windows) 

 string hebrewString = desEncoding.GetString(bytes);

EDIT: It seems an Hebrew string has been encoded as Arabic encoding so to do the reverse (If possible) we should try possible origin/destination pairs of encodings.

I solved it. the text is utf-8

       const string Str = "×گض¸×¨ض´×™×،ض°×ک×•ض¹×ں";
        Encoding defaultEncoding = Encoding.Default;
        byte[] bytes = defaultEncoding.GetBytes(Str);
        Encoding encoding2 = Encoding.UTF8;
        string hebrewString2 = encoding2.GetString(bytes);
        label1.Text = hebrewString2;

Thanks for every body
