I find that hard to believe. There is no code in Python that does
removal of characters, and I can't see any other reason why it gets
removed.

OTOH, what I do get when writing to a file is a UnicodeError, when
it tries to convert the Unicode string that toxml gives to a byte
string.

So I recommend you pass encoding="utf-8" to the toprettyxml invocation
also.
