Hi Mike,
I changed the encoding to utf-8:
<xs:element name="input"
type="xs:string"
dfdl:initiator="Lecœur"
dfdl:encoding="utf-8"/>
I get the same error message:
[error] Parse Error: Initiator 'Lec?ur' not found
Bug in Daffodil?

You have a mismatch between the character set encoding of your DFDL schema, and
the character set encoding it says is in the data.
Is your DFDL schema in UTF-8?
The character œ doesn't exist in iso-8859-1.
If your data contains œ then the encoding must be iso-8859-15 or utf-8 or
something that has the œ character.
I think it is a daffodil bug that you did not get a schema definition error
when it read the string for your dfdl:initiator, but is not able to translate
it into the encoding because some characters are illegal/unmapped. I would like
you to have gotten "SDE: initiator contains characters undefined in encoding
iso-8859-1: 'œ' ".

Hello DFDL community,
Here’s my input file (notice the œ ligature):
Lecœur Hello, world
Lecœur is the initiator.
Here’s my DFDL schema:
<xs:element name="input"
type="xs:string"
dfdl:initiator="Lecœur"
dfdl:encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
Running it yields this error message:
[error] Parse Error: Initiator 'Lec?ur' not found
Why am I getting this error message?
/Roger
