I found this quote when doing a search in google: --- quote ---
Your actual problem is very typical. By default (without encoding specified in the XML declaration), XML is encoded in UTF-8. If you use an editor which is not encoding-aware and typically assuming an ISO-8859-1 encoding, and you insert characters such as accented letters, curly quotes, etc., you will get this error. As a workaround, you can put an XML declaration with the ISO-8859-1 encoding at the top of your XML file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> You can also use an editor which knows how to handle UTF-8. In your case it is also possible that somebody inserted incorrect characters by accident, and you can just remove those and then decide which encoding you want to use. UTF-8 gives you the whole range of Unicode, while ISO-8859-1 gives you a limited set of characters that work for the Western languages. --- quote --- maybe that will help, Brandon On 4/20/05, Brice Ruth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What special characters aren't supported by UTF-8?!
