Re: DOM wrappers and UTF-8 encoding

["Edward W. Rouse" <erouse@vei.net>]

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html is a very complete
explanation of UTF-8 encoding/decoding. From the text, it appears that
you have to make sure that your application can or does properly decode
UTF-8 byte sequences. This may not happen automagically. You neglected
to mention what language/program you are using to decode the XML file.
