Reading UNICODE character

[Mannion, Enda]

Hi,     I am reading a tag called XX from an XML file, this code works ok when XX is and ASCII character but when it is a UNICODE char like € I get problems.   Nothing is returned just an empty string, when reading the UNICODE character. I can write the UNICODE character to the XML file without any problems but there is an issue with reading.     if(node->getFirstChild() != NULL)   { XMLCh* n = node->getFirstChild()->getNodeValue();       char* xmlval = XMLString::transcode(n);           // this line returns “”, empty string??       m_deviceName = string(xmlval);       xercesc::XMLString::release(&xmlval); } Can anyone suggest a solution, Thanks, Enda
