0x2200 is not part of the ISO-8859-1 charset. One way to save this char. would be to generate "�x2200;" in the XML file. XXE only does this only if you choose "US-ASCII" as the encoding of your save files. The rationale is: currently, for performance reasons, XXE does not test to see if each character is included in the chosen charset. In summary: * If you want to generate ISO-8859-1 files with XXE, do not use characters such as 0x2200. * If you really need these characters, choose UTF-8 or US-ASCII as your preferred encoding. PS: in V2.5, we'll extend to ISO-8859-1 what is done for US-ASCII (but what I said above will still be true if you choose for example ISO-8859-15).
