Re: XML and the Degree Sign

[Darron J. Schall]

You could try encoding the file as UTF-16, and mark it as so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<...>

By using the right encoding, you don't need to worry about escaping/replacing anything.

  Well, it's partially solved.  I'm replacing the degree sign with #176;
  and that seems to work in my plain test XML page.  Of course, in the
  application, I have to do the replace in the Oracle query itself, but am
  having some trouble getting it to display.  It's kind of hard to
  explain, but I have to actually double-escape the pound sign in the
  query (so it comes out as ####176; ), but that's not quite working right.

  I'm checking to see if I can just replace it with "deg" or "degrees".

  Thanks for all the suggestions!
