[Expat-discuss] Character encoding ISO 8859-1

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 12:49:37 +0200

Hi,
I'm using expat with ISO 8859-1 encoded xml files and I have following problem: expat converts german characters e.g.

   ß (Small sharp s, German (sz ligature) ("&szlig;"))
 or
   ü (Small u, dieresis or umlaut mark ("&uuml;"))

 to a sequence of two bytes, e.g.
 ß (sz) -> 0xC39F
 ü (small u, dieresis) -> 0xC3BC

As I use expat for german language I expect from expat that expat doesn't modify the character data between xml elements. Do anybody have a suggestion to solve my problem?

  Chris
