can it handle utf-8 or utf-16 ? all characters can be encoded in utf encodings so you'd never get that error message if using utf8 (or 16).
Good thought -- and actually the document builds OK with utf-8 specified. The only problem is that section titles with 8-bit characters are broken when viewed on Windows :-(

I guess you mean that the high characters are shown incorrectly. This is most likely because the MS help compiler expects to get a specific encoding, e.g. ansi-1250 or ansi-1252. HtmlHelp content should allow entities, but I believe we are talking about the hht file, the html help TOC file. It is textual.

I'm afraid you will have to downcase characters to the encoding it is expecting. And as it is MS, I guess you will have to downcase to ansi. But only for the hht file...

Grtz,
