xml file not support chinese character (GBK)

examples:

<companies>
<company>
<id>1</id>
<ticker>ΪʲôÖÐÎIJ»ÄÜÏÔʾ</ticker>
<name>Microsoft Corporation</name>
<mktcap>314,571.156</mktcap>
<sales>32,187.000</sales>
<employees>55000</employees>
</company>
<company>
<id>2</id>
<ticker>dddd</ticker>
<name>ΪʲôÖÐÎIJ»ÄÜÏÔʾ</name>
<mktcap>62,615.266</mktcap>
<sales>9,519.000</sales>
<employees>40650</employees>
</company>
</companies>

I did copy-paste of your example into the xml using Notepad and saved the file in the UTF-8 encoding. After that I see the chinese characters both in IE6 and Mozilla (Firebird 0.6). So the problem must be in using the correct encoding.

I cannot say however whether the sorting is correct :-)

Hi Alex,

Would like to know the syntax used to make the above file to show Chinese characters. Since, i am trying to make chinese character appear in XML, have been trying with UTF-8.
