[dom4j-user] Asking again: setText() doesn't convert to utf-8

[David Thielen]

Hi;   I am creating a DOM using Document and Element.setText(). The created xml from Document.asXML() is set to encoding=”utf-8”. However, it appears that while it converts items like < to &lt;, it doesn’t convert chars that are greater than 0x7f to their utf-8 value. Is there something special I have to do?   Thanks - dave
