Yup. If I change the output encoding to utf-16 IE correctly auto-selects unicode (using msxml4) but not with saxon. oh well, its not the biggest deal. btw, if I can pick your brains sort-of off topic, in which situation would you choose to use utf-8 over utf-16? many thanks andrew -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 03 July 2002 09:46 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: encoding issues > So why > does IE 'autodetect' Western European and not recognise   ?? This seems very strange. Firstly I've never had IE default to such an encoding and secondly even if that encoding (or any other) is used   is still ddefined and still means a non breaking space: that's the whole point of character references, they are an encoding neutral representatation of the character.
