Wouldn't the problem be that those are NOT UTF-8 characters? UTF-8 is not a code page, it's an encoding of Unicode characters. Though UTF-8 can clearly encode Unicode which holds German characters, that's not what he is providing. So he is confusing UTF-8's ability to encode anything that can be represented as Unicode, and how that text get into Unicode format to begin with.

Type:UTFDataFormatException: why?? Hello! The problem may be the encoding the xml file is in. When you use standard windows editors, you can't change the encoding and it defaults to the windows standard, win-1252, which is the same for th 7 bit ascii standard, but not for the german special characters.
