Re: [Sab] special characters

[Michael Beddow]

That's not "garbled stuff" It's the correct utf-8 encoded value.

If you want something other than utf-8, you need to say so.

But note that in both xml and html >=4.0 &#252 represents
a Unicode code point, which may or may not represent
the character you want in whatever encoding you intend
to use. It depends on the fit between your chosen encoding
and Unicode.

For the background to all this, see Mike Brown's paper
at http://skew.org/xml/tutorial/
