Well, since you declared it to be UTF-8, it must be UTF-8 encoded.

However, your question seems to imply that you generate the XML manually
using string concatenation, which is a rather bad idea. Python has great
XML tools like ElementTree that help in generating and serialising XML
correctly (besides parsing, searching and other things).
