How do you set the file "type" to UTF-8?
I'm assuming Ashish is talking about the "encoding" attribute of the XML declaration in the first line of the file. Chris is correct that the real magic happens when you serialize the DOM to a file, but you should be sure to use the same encoding with the writer that actually creates the file as you do in the XML declaration. If your characters aren't UTF-8 then don't use UTF-8. Any decent XML reading software will recognize the encoding when the file is read.
