Hmm, I am not much into character encodings so bear with me.

Is it not possible to change the default encoding for XML-RPC?
About "the receiver implementing the XML spec..." - where do I start?

The XML-RPC client and server classes have get/set Encoding methods.

I have just checked and as of version 2.0 the default encoding is UTF8.

Are you implementing your own XML-RPC client? If so you need to use a proper XML parser which will take care of the character references for you.

If you are using the Apache XML-RPC implementation for client and server then you really don;t need to worry about the encoding - your Unicode strings will arrive unchanged. This should also be true if you are using any other XML-RPC implementation, however there are a lot of implementations out there and some may not be very good at handling the full Unicode character set.
