I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to fix this problem. [1] What you see in the character tool in the U+007F to U+009F range is platform dependent (attached screen shot was taken on Linux) and is under the control of the Java runtime and not of the application (XXE). On Windows XP, displaying U+0094 as the right double quotation mark is of course incorrect. Therefore, this is a Java bug. [2] The character inserted by XXE in the XML document is really U+0094 and that's what really counts. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
