What are you using to post the request to Google API? I'm using the .NET HttpWebRequest and writing the XML content using a StreamWriter. I've even tried specifying UTF-8 encoding when writing the content, with no luck. I've logged my XML to a file, and the "ø" character appears correctly in the log.
Interestingly, the XML parser in IE does not consider my XML valid, reporting the "ø" an invalid character (open http://www.planyourdive.com/google_api_problem.xml in IE to see). Firefox will display it, but renders the "ø" as an unknown character. My guess is that something is munging the "ø" between me and Google, such that Google considers the XML invalid, but I can't figure out what would be doing that. Is there any way to see what Google received on their end?
