That message means that you have a non-UTF-8 character. Most probably, this is due to cutting and pasting from some windows application. You either need to put the correct UTF-8 character in there or use its codepoint (for example, "é"). This has nothing to do with the fact that this is an xqy file, btw. It is just that it is a non-UTF-8 character, and you either need to convert it to UTF-8 before it gets to MarkLogic Server or tell MarkLogic the encoding and it can convert it using some of the built-ins that support the encoding option (xdmp:document-get, xdmp:document-load for example).
