Thanks for the reply. However this problem has nothing to do with data transfer as I am creating XML file on the fly. So if is installed on Unix file gets created on Unix and same for windows...
My guess turned out right. On Unix you need to specify the encoding as 'UTF-8' ( case sensitive ) while on windows 'utf8' ( and for that matter 'UTF-8') works fine..

You should definitely get some education about encoding issues rather than stumbling along blindly. Start here for the XML related problems http://skew.org/xml/tutorial/ There are some websites dealing with encoding issues in Java and with transferring files across machines as well.
