[BangPypers] Handling unicode characters in xml.dom

[Anand Balachandran Pillai]

What is the encoding of your XML file ? i.e in the
string "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="<encoding>"?>,
what is <encoding> ?

Make sure it is an encoding like utf-8 or iso-8859-1
which can help the parser to understand garbage
chars.
