Hi Morgan, You need to specify the Character Encoding in the XML file and also the Display Encoding in FrameMaker. The Structure Application Developer Reference explains this on pages 24 and 25. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/structapp_dev_ref.pdf The guide was written for Frame 8, but it functions the same in 9.

The XML output appears to be correct, but when we import the document back into FrameMaker, the characters appear as question marks. The encoding is set to UTF-8. How do we properly round-trip a FrameMaker document that contains Chinese characters? Does it have anything to do with the encoding of the characters when they are added to the document? Is it related to the encoding set in the XML file? Is there a specific setting in the application definitions we need to set? Any advice you can share would be appreciated.
