[BangPypers] Handling unicode characters in xml.dom

[Gurpreet Sachdeva]

The XML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<results>
<suite success="2" failures="0" name="Test 1">
  <case status="PASSED" time="25.21 sec" >
    <system-out><![CDATA[Test Program Metadata class.
      Metadata Key 'duration;valtype=uint32;timescale=90000', value 21762000
      Metadata Key 'date;valtype=wchar*', value '20030414T044847.000Z'
      Metadata Key
'description;valtype=wchar*;iso-639-2-lang=jpn;orig-char-enc=UTF-8', value
'f(3gpÕ¡¤ë'
      Metadata Key
'title;valtype=wchar*;iso-639-2-lang=jpn;orig-char-enc=UTF-8', value
'pa_st_2000'
      Metadata Key
'author;valtype=wchar*;iso-639-2-lang=jpn;orig-char-enc=UTF-8', value
'ɳâ_BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB'
      Metadata Key 'track-inf;valtype=char*;index=0', value 'ES'

    ]]></system-out>
  </case>
</suite></results>
