OK, I don't know which parser you are using, but with Xerces I had a problem
with high-bits being set unless I either compiled in Unicode or set the
"embedding=" string to something that was 16 bit like ISO8859-1. Could be
the parser is replacing the character that it doesn't recognize with a
default character.

Hi Tom,

I misrepresented the problem a little. I am writing this out to an XML
file. The XML parser complains that the character (G 0xF7) is invalid.

When I open the file in a text editor like notepad or VS IDE, the text
doesn't look like it should, but if I open in a hex editor, I can see that
the chars are both 0xF7.

If I open the file in a text editor again, and copy/paste the character
out
of Character Map program into the text file and save it. Then everything
works fine with the XML parser, and when I open it in the Hex editor the
value of the chars are 0xC3B7.

What I can't understand is what is the difference between what I am
writing
to the file, and what get's pasted when I paste the char from character
map
program.
