When you use 'getBytes()' it uses a default encoding, which
probably doesn't support your character. If you use getBytes("UTF8") you
will get a string that may look a little odd, but it will represent all
the characters, without mapping any to '?'.

Subject: Re: Special characters as question marks?
I could be wrong, but I've tested it and am fairly sure the string
contains '?'.
If I output:
comp.getNodeValue().getBytes()[0]
it has the value 63, which is the byte value of an '?'
