C# example program to convert any HTML file to the utf-8 character encoding.

            // Convert an HTML file to utf-8.
            Chilkat.Charset cc = new Chilkat.Charset();
            cc.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial");

            // The file in this example uses the windows-1256 encoding.
            // To convert it to utf-8, call ConvertHtmlFile.
            // The HTML META tag specifying the charset is automatically
            // modified to specify utf-8, and the character data is converted.

            // It is not necessary to specify the FromCharset if the encoding
            // is present in the HTML, such as like this:
            // <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1256" >
            
            // Therefore, these two lines of code are capable of converting
            // any HTML file to utf-8, regardless of the original charset.
            cc.ToCharset = "utf-8";
            cc.ConvertHtmlFile("arabicNews.html", "arabicUtf8.html");
