Well, well! What a nice surprise. Great to hear from you Michael. I’ve missed you. Thanks for your response although I’m not sure it’s going to help me in the long run. If I were having problems with just this one special character, it would be easy to convert the escape code, however, considering the data that our vendors are supplying us, I need for the XML Generator and Formatter to be able to accept any UTF-8 compliant escape code.
The following is a list of what I have found in our data so far and none of these will pass through the XML Generator and XML Formatter snaps. And no doubt, vendors can, will, and should be able to add whatever they want to this list, as long as it’s HTML compliant. The snaps also sometimes do not recognize the character codes at all and I have had to convert them to either decimal or hexidecimal for the snaps to recognize them (for instance I had to convert ® to ® and ®. I see in your example you converted it to #00xAE; ).
® ®
