I have some Unicode Host A record names (like abcáxyz) in my DNS zone. When I use dnscmd /zoneexport it creates a zone file. When I open this file in notepad or any text editor, it will show record name as abc\303\241xyz. I want to read this file through program, I would like to know, which type of encoding dnscmd uses while writing to a file, to represent the such ( á ) characters as \303\241.

I tried to use following encode formats

iso-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-9, windows-1252, windows-1254. All are working for me, but I am not sure which one to use.
