Hi Damien,

you can use some tricks. You can make a UTF-8 (unicode) enabled XML by 
setting it's encoding attribute to "UTF-8", then pipe your unicode 
content to it. If you want this to display on Rev text fields then you 
need to set the unicodetext prop of the field, using put won't work.

You can convert the diacreticals characters to their HTML entitities 
(by getting the htmltext prop of the field), escape the ampersand char 
and put the thing inside the XML, remember to convert back before 
setting the HTMLText prop of a field.

You can create your own tagging routine (this is tedious, but it works).

Cheers
