I'm sending updated test code. Plase don't throw this bugreport
immediately away as "bogus". I really don't want to use this as support
forum, and don't want to stupidly chat with developers. Maybe I sent bad
example for the first time, but I'm trying to do what I can to help you
to help me. Maybe we will find I'm dumb but maybe we will find and fix
some problem together.

Reproduce code
--------------
<?php
$xmlData = <<<XMLCODE
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<test>"šèøžýáíé</test>
XMLCODE;

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadXML( $xmlData );
echo $dom->saveXML($dom->firstChild);
?>

Expected result
---------------
<test>"ìšèøžýáíé</test>

Actual result
---------------
<test>"&#x161;&#x10D;&#x159;&#x17E;&#xFD;&#xE1;&#xED;&#xE9;</test>

Not without an example, but as this is not a user forum, please ask
this kinds of questions on the php-general@lists.php.net mailinglist.

Thanks derick for fast response. But I found something interesting.
When I set encoding in XML with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>,
it works OK. But there is still no way to disable replacing special
characters with entities when I have proper encoding and want to use
saveXML with parameter "node" to save only part of the tree. Any
solution to this?

You need to specify the charset encoding in your XML, like so:

<?php
$xmlData = <<<XMLCODE
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf8"?>
<test>"привате</test>
XMLCODE;

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadXML( $xmlData );
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>

Description:
------------
saveXML function replaces UTF-8 characters to entities. If I have some
UTF-8 characters in my loaded XML file and want to save it with
saveXML, it replace everything to entities like this &#x10D; &#x159;
&#x17E; &#xFD;&#xE1; &#xED; &#xE9; I had to write my own saveXML in PHP
and it's really bad.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xmlData = <<<XMLCODE
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<test>"ìšèøžýáíé</test>
XMLCODE;

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadXML( $xmlData );
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>"ìšèøžýáíé</test>

Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>"&#x11B;&#x161;&#x10D;&#x159;&#x17E;&#xFD;&#xE1;&#xED;&#xE9;</test>
