[Xerte-dev] Re: sanpit example of non standard chars

[Tom Reijnders]

Yes that might well be the reason for the other corruption instances. I 
mean if a Ctrl-D (0x03 or ETX) of Ctrl-Z (0x19 or EM) is treated as end 
of text, and end of medium respectively this could result in corrupt xml 
files.

The problem with the attached file is only the US character, it's 
actually interpreted as character #x001F.

The apostrophe is probably ok, but you see the UTF encoding for the 
apostrophe. My XML verifier is not complaining about that. It's actualle 
showing like an apostrophe.

The apostrophe is also properly displaying in notepad++ (that is utf-8 
aware.)

Regards,

Tom
