Hi Christophe It's very unlikely that the characters are the problem - all Unicode characters are allowed in XML - see e.g. http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm (section 2.2) and hence in XmlBeans.
What is more likely is that the characters are not encoded (as bytes) in the way XmlBeans expects. By default XmlBeans assumes UTF-8 encoding. Yours are probably ISO8859_1 or some such thing. If you want to play around with character encoding have a look at XmlOptions.setCharacterEncoding().
