Special characters as question marks?

[Felix Planjer]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now, and cannot find
the solution.

Our xml document has element like to following in it:
<comp>&#x2264;</comp>

The &x2264; if the lower(or higher?)-equal character.

When using xalan to create html from this the browser displays the correct
character. If I serialize the DOMDocument, it write &x2264; to the file.
This all works fine.

The problem is with the following code:
Node compNode = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(item,
"./atp_specification_comparator1/text()");
String comp = comp.getNodeValue()

The comp string contains the character '?' instead of something I can use.

We're using jre1.3.1 and xerces 2.6.2

How can I read the correct character from the xmlDocument?

regards,
Felix
