DOM wrappers and UTF-8 encoding

[Poorav Chaudhari <pooravc@yahoo.com>]

I have an xml file, that contains utf-8 encoded text that is &#12345; format. to read the data between the tags in xml, i am using the standard DOM method getNodeValue. if i put a simple string between the tags my program spits out the exact string, if i put &#97; (97 -  is the ascii value for 'a') then the entire string is converted to 'a'. so basically if there is any other garbage over 128, it spits out some funny character.

supposing i had the following xml

<Data10>Data 10 &#97;</Data10>

the result it spits out is Data 10 a

so if the xml contains

<Data15>&#12473;</Data15>

i get a funny character.

please if someone has anyidea what is going wrong please reply soon. thanks
