Fred,
what method of that service were you calling, and with what parameters?
Out of curiosity I tried reproducing your problem using the test client
here: http://www.xmlbus.com:9010/WSDLClient/WSDLDynamicTestClient.html
and information about the service you mentioned here:
http://soapclient.com/websearch.html
I tried in vain to get this to return non-UTF8 characters. My best
effort was searching MSN for 'pound sign currency' - which returns no
results using the SOAP service but not if you use MSN by hand (pointing
to a problem with this guy's html parser)
I also tried trying to trigger the char you're having problems with
('\'=0x92), searches for 'lmhosts winnt' almost always contain it, and
gave me no problems.
I got curious because '\' _is_ a valid single byte sequence in UTF8.
Is the error possibly in the call rather than the response? You havent
given us much to go on here, like for example a stack trace?
