RE: [xml] libxml2 and CW8 on Mac OS X

["Arun S K (RBIN/EDM3) *" <Arun SK in bosch com>]

Hi all,

I was trying to parse an XML file with encoding set to UTF8 having the following header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>

The document has the character ß (Beeta) in it. The parser aborts with the following message 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
:13: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0x80 0x20 0x3C 0x2F
                                <NAME>test_1ß</NAME>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Is ß not a valid UTF8 character? How can this be corrected.
Could anybody please help me.

Thanks and regards,
Arun.
