XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Grzegorz Kaczor" <grzegorz.kaczor AT gmail.com>]

Hi,

How did you create the XML file? If you just pasted it from your text editor
the character may as well be encoded using ISO-8859-1 or some Windows-1252,
whichever. The character has code 228 in Windows-1252 while it is 00E4 in
Unicode - it should be encoded as bytes C3A4 (195 and 164). Try seeing the
file in some hex editor to get real contents of the file. If the "a umlaut"
character is one byte it is probably not encoded in UTF-8. You may also try
to insert ý instead of "a umlaut" to test.

Regards
Grzegorz
