  You need to read to understand the fundamental concepts of characters,
code points and encodings, there are pointers and explanations of libxml2
own behaviour at:
   http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html

Sorry there is no alternative than to learn and understand those concepts.
Libxml2 APIs use UTF-8, what you seems to consider wrong is actually 
perfectly correct.
