Re: utf-8 characters problem

[Bob Foster]

Exactly what Xerces or standard API is producing this result? Are you 
sure you're not looking at the result in some editor (that is using the 
wrong code page to represent your characters)?

XML parsers deliver characters in Unicode. You are apparently trying to 
use the characters as though each character had eight bits.

Tell us a little more about what steps you took to see what you describe 
and maybe someone will be able to help.

Hi,
when I parse the xml document (with xerces 2.6.2) which has in xml 
declaration specified utf-8 encoding and which contains utf-8 characters 
in character reference form &#xxxx;
the parser replaces these characters  with ascii characters. For some 
characters is ok but for instance InvisibleTimes change for some 
incorrect strange character sentese.
I'd like to know if is possible to prohibit changing characters from 
char. ref. form ? Or does it exist some recommendation how to treat with 
these characters.

Here is a piece of my 'problematic' xml document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mathDoc>
<p>Factorise the following quadratic expression:
       <math>
         <mrow>
           <msup>
             <mrow>
           <mi>x</mi>
             </mrow>
             <mrow>
           <mn>2</mn>
             </mrow>
           </msup>
           <mo>&#x002b;</mo> <!-- replaces with character + -->
           <mi>p</mi>
           <mo>&#x2062;</mo>   <!-- here is InvisibleTimes -->
                   <mi>x</mi>
           <mo>&#x002b;</mo>  <!-- replaces with character + -->
           <mi>q</mi>
         </mrow>
       </math>
</mathDoc>
Thanks so much
Jakub
