If it is sent over HTTP, the HTTP header has priority over the document header, if the document is sent text/xml. If the HTTP header does not specify an encoding, the default of ISO 8859-1 may be used. Get them to send application/xml and/or get them to explicitly set the encoding of UTF-8 in the HTTP header. > my hex editor does the same. > sequence 20 96 20. > So from the UTF-8 spec 0x96 is way beyond 0x7F. Yes. That is definitely not UTF-8. It is not a legitimate ISO 8859-n codepoint either. There is no UTF-8 character which is represented by a code-point greater than hex 80 followed and preceded by codepoints less-than hex 80. > So do i have a case for telling my supplier to correctly validate his > documents? Definitely. Try a concilatory approach: ask them what the character is supposed to be.
