By refering http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#charencoding ,
I know that The defaut enconding for XML entities is UTF-8 and
UTF-16,all XML
processor is able to read entities wroten in both UTF-8 and UTF-16 .For
a XML parser that
can read XML entities other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 ,the XML file must
start with an enconding declare which is :
EncodingDecl ::= S 'encoding' Eq ('"' EncName '"' | "'" EncName
"'" )
EncName ::= [A-Za-z] ([A-Za-z0-9._] | '-')*
S ::= (#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA)+
Eq ::= S? '=' S?
