Yes, indeed. You should never use a Reader of any sort when processing XML (unless you have a non-standard Reader class that understands the XML declaration). Always use an InputSource so that the parser can install its own bytes-to-chars converter based on the declaration. > The culprit is FileReader. It is the one doing the strange "read UTF-8 as > Windows code page". Actually, it's doing what it's expected to: reading the native charset, CP-1252. (Unix JVMs use 8859-1 instead.) It has no way of knowing that *you* think the document charset is UTF-8. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c...
