There are four kinds of accent current in French (é è ê ë) so you should be more precise. None of them can possibly correspond to CHR(130) neither in UTF-8 nor in ISO-8859-1
On what kind of system/platform/OS are you working ?
Mentioning vi makes me guess it should be some kind of Unix but at the same time the encoding used makes this improbable...
I guess more information is needed here.

Manuel,
We create the XML using a version of BASIC. To create this particular character, we send CHR(130) to the XML. When I open the XML in "vi", I see the proper FRENCH symbol.

    I am suspicious that although you declare the XML file as being in
    UTF-8 it actually isn't. How do you produce the XML file?

    *Subject:* Error when using XSL with French Characters

    My Friends,
    Fop-0.95   My style sheet has been working perfectly.  However,
    the user submitted some text in French.  In the text was a letter
    "e" with an accent above it.

    That character caused the following error:
            Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

    My .xml looks fine.   The  "e" with the accent above it is perfect.
    First line in my XML:
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    Here is the first line of my XSL:
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    I am confused over why the UTF-8 for the XML understands the
    character but the UTF-8 in the XSL does not?

    I found an article that suggests that the problem would be solved
    with:
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="8859-1"?>

    Would this be a viable/recommended solution?   Do you have a
    better idea?
