Alberto Massari commented on XERCESC-1477:
------------------------------------------

Keep in mind that XMLString::transcode will convert data into the "current" 
encoding; the native transcoder will use the local code page as reported by 
Windows, while ICU will use the ucnv_getDefaultName API.
For instance, on my Italian Windows XP, ucnv_getDefaultName returns 
ibm-5348_P100-1997, while the native transcoder uses the ISO-8859-15 code page. 
Being potentially different encodings, they could be able to handle the same 
string in different ways.

Please check how these APIs behave on your system; as a suggestion, try to 
avoid using XMLString::transcode for anything that is not just printing string 
to the output console, as it has a behaviour that depends on the settings of 
the user/machine you are running.

> I have built Xerces-c with ICU4C 3.2 with icu transcoder. Build was 
> successful. But the function XMLString::transcode()
> does not transcode UTF-8 string properly. But when I built Xerces-c with 
> native transcoder, the  function works fine.  Can somebody  help me. I am 
> attaching proper and non-functional dlls. I have a sample program 
> SAX2Print.exe which uses the function XMLString::transcode(). With the 
> Xerces-c dll built with native trascoder, it trascode properly, that is , it

> To run the sample program, use the command:
>                                                       SAX2Print.exe -p 
> simpletext.xml
