What is the best solution to display non-english characters (like é and ô) from an RSS feed? I'm using the XSL file below to convert the RSS feed to HTML. I'm also uploading the XML file from SecurityFocus that I'm trying to parse. Any suggestions?

rss(1).xslt

sf-vuln.xml

Hi David,

If the XML uses Unicode encoding (UTF-16), there is virtualy
no restriction on caracter set you can use.

You can use entity notation like: é ô
Here is the complete unicode table
http://www.unicode.org/charts

Most of the modern browsers are capable to detect and render Unicode.
If you like to learn more about HTML encoding
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html

Hope this helps
Ivan
