Hi,

Some characters such as "&#x50000;" and "'[[[&#x50000;]]]'" seem to get turned by XOM to "?" characters.
I've seen similar things before when using byte to char conversions, both with the nio converters and the java.lang.String converters. Any ideas on what could be done about it, or what I'm doing wrong here?

What do you mean by "get turned by XOM to '?' characters"?

In particular have you verified that they are changing into the ASCII character 0x3F or are they perhaps being displayed as the glyph "?". Many systems will use a question mark for the glyph of a character they can't represent.
