Given the normal Console in C#, the task is to change the Input Encoding Scheme of the Console.
Approach: This can be done using the InputEncoding property in the Console class of the System package in C#. Console.InputEncoding Property gets or sets the encoding the console uses to read input.
Program 1: Getting the value of Input Encoding Scheme
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace GFG {
class Program {
static void Main( string [] args)
{
Console.WriteLine( "Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}" ,
Console.InputEncoding);
}
}
}

Output:
Program 2: Setting the value of Input Encoding Scheme
using System;

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace GFG {
class Program {
static void Main( string [] args)
{
Console.WriteLine( "Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}" ,
Console.InputEncoding);
Console.InputEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
Console.WriteLine( "Current Input Encoding Scheme: {0}" ,
Console.InputEncoding);
}
}
}
