It's not as much for editing XML, which I use a different editor for. But more to verify what is being displayed in IE is what was sent, since IE tweeks and consolidates XML Before it displays it during it's validation. (ie. it will change <test></test> to <test />
I use IE for because it's quicker to test xml files that are not local to the computer and are online.

I suspect I know what is happening, though I can't tell you WHY. The view source function is using an encoding that doesn't match your actual file. For example the view source may think its using UTF-16 for some reason, but since its really using UTF-8 the characters are all mangled. Its just a guess. I would recommend saving the file to disk and the use another editor like notepad++ which can tell you what the file encoding is. This is likely just a bug in IE 11. There are so many better editors out there for xml data, I would just use one of those instead.
