RE: Special symbols in XML that XSLT caanot recognize

Hi Michael,
Does that mean the XML should be storing the characters in the character entity form, therefore encoding used in XML document may not be right since it's storing character instead?
Thanks for your help.
Vivek

This suggests that the actual character encoding used in the file is different from the encoding declared in the XML declaration. It's an XML problem, not an XSLT one.
