How are you getting this buffer? What type is it, char[]? D strings are supposed to be Unicode, always. If you read the data in from a file, there's little to no guarantee as to what encoding it is (unless it started with a Unicode BOM). If you have a zero-terminated char* that a C function gives you, you can turn it into a D string with std.string.toString (Phobos) or tango.stdc.stringz.fromStringz (Tango).
