In java, 0xFFFE or 0xFFFF should work. They aren't strictly the max Unicode character for XML, but since Java represents Unicode as utf-16 but doesn't really provide much support for surrogate pairs (last I checked), those should work. Hm.. Eclipse tells me that there is Character.MAX_VALUE. Use at your own risk. Reading up on Unicode is also recommended though... internationalization is far, far more complicated than you ever imagined. I know people who get the shakes if you just mention "Turkish 'I'" in their presence.
