Diffrent result of md5 between php and c#

Question

Hello I trying to convert this part code from php to c# with identical result:

PHP :

md5("apple", true) //result :8pѕ'OlIігg(•

C# :

    byte[] asciiBytes = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("apple");
    byte[] hashedBytes =  MD5CryptoServiceProvider.Create().ComputeHash(asciiBytes);
    return System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(hashedBytes); //result: 8p?'OlI??g(?

Similar but not exactly

upd: with BitConverter.ToString(hashedBytes).Replace("-", "").ToLower(); I have got: 1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f

And I have not any problems when I use md5("apple", false)

Try this:

 var md5 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create();
 byte[] inputBytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(input);
 byte[] hash = md5.ComputeHash(inputBytes);

 var s = Encoding.Default.GetString(hash);

or choose another Encoding format.
