It's very very unlikely the parser cannot transcode data, as long as document contains an XML declaration with the proper encoding. When you say "For example one line says...", what do you mean? Is that the text in your XML document? What does the XML declaration look like? > When i display the tag name its empty so i assume that > the parsers fails to return the string because of its > encoding.

Are you using the XMLString::transcode() function? If so, are you certain the local code page can encode those characters? Using XMLString::transcode() is very dangerous, and not likely to do what you want with every possible encoding and local code page. Rather, you should write your application to use UTF-16 internally. > I'm a bit confused on how to do that. The transcode > method can help ?
