The byte value such as Saxon is complaining about does usually not exist in the Emacs buffer because Emacs will decode/encode into its internal format when reading/writing. You can try M-x hexl-find-file to get a detailed view of the bytes in your file and to search for the byte in question. Before you do that you may want to try M-x describe-coding-system RET RET in the original buffer to see if Emacs actually will save the file correctly in UTF-8 as Saxon expects. If not, you can change the coding-system with M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system RET utf-8 RET. If this is the problem you can add a "coding" file variable to your file, see (info "(Emacs)File Variables"), to make sure Emacs will use UTF-8 for the file in the future. benny
