title: Invalid text error in XML caused by French language characters
body: <p>I was given an XML file containing French language characters and received the following error: "An invalid character was found in text content XML."  After searching around it seems this is a common error caused by the fact that XML is designed for UTF-8 encoding.  I am not familiar with how to change the encoding being used, and although I have seen samples on here that contain a line stating the encoding the only non-data lines in my file is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;tag&gt; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to actually have these characters be interpreted correctly?  I am attempting to import an XML file into Access, and in the end it would be best if I could preserve these characters.  </p>
