310 (octal) is the ISO 8859-1 code point for an E with grave accent, so
this is correct.

How are you printing it or inspecting the result to see \310 instead of
È?

[xml] Issue with UTF8Toisolat1

[Stéphane Michaut]

Hi,

I try to read an XML file which contains properly UTF-8 formatted character 
from French accented character ( for 'È').
Since I used isolat1ToUTF8 to write this character to xml file, I though I 
simply have to use UTF8Toisolat1 when reading the file in order to retrieve my 
French character 'È'.

But it doesn't work well : I am getting a \310 char when I display the string 
out of  UTF8Toisolat1 (all non special characters are well retrieved yet).

I read the XML file using
  xmlTextReaderPrt reader = xmlReaderForFile(szXMLFileName, "UTF-8", 0);

and parsing it with
  nRetLect = xmlTextReaderRead(reader);

Since the internal encoding in Libxml is UTF8, all I have to do is to convert 
what I get from the reader in ISO-8859-1 and that's it!
Am should do something wrong, but what ? (Libxml version 2.6.7 on AIX)

Any help appreciated,

Stéphane
