C#

using System;
using System.Text;

public class SamplesEncoding  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Print the header.
      Console.Write( "Name               " );
      Console.Write( "CodePage  " );
      Console.Write( "BodyName           " );
      Console.Write( "HeaderName         " );
      Console.Write( "WebName            " );
      Console.WriteLine( "Encoding.EncodingName" );

      // For every encoding, compare the name properties with EncodingInfo.Name.
      // Display only the encodings that have one or more different names.
      foreach( EncodingInfo ei in Encoding.GetEncodings() )  {
         Encoding e = ei.GetEncoding();

         if (( ei.Name != e.BodyName ) || ( ei.Name != e.HeaderName ) || ( ei.Name != e.WebName ))  {
            Console.Write( "{0,-18} ", ei.Name );
            Console.Write( "{0,-9} ",  e.CodePage );
            Console.Write( "{0,-18} ", e.BodyName );
            Console.Write( "{0,-18} ", e.HeaderName );
            Console.Write( "{0,-18} ", e.WebName );
            Console.WriteLine( "{0} ", e.EncodingName );
         }
      }
   }
}
