revXML and UTF8

[Brian Milby]

Are you sending encoded data to libXML and then decoding the data you pull out?

In the first bug report in the thread, if you textDecode the output from libXML then it renders with the smart quote.

I recall this topic coming up before but I don’t mess with XML and can’t recall more details on it (could have been in the forum too).
