Sure they are - provided the string is in UTF8 encoding as required by
the libxml API.

If your string is in latin-1 encoding, libxml provides function to
encode latin-1 into utf-8 (and vice versa).  Otherwise, look into using
iconv() or similar functionality.
Alternatively, write your XML to a file with a suitable encoding set in
the XML declaration and parse from that file - then libxml will (try to)
handle encoding issues.
