I am working on Win 2000, VC++ 6.0
I am using expat 1.95.4 version.
It is compiled for UTF-8 output and i have specifed the encoding in the =
XML
file as UTF-8.
Still when i load the XML file, a character =C2 is prefixed to the =
special
characters like ( Euro, trademark, etc).

What can i do to see that the Euro character properly? I have enclosed =
the
XML file i am using.
Any suggestion/help will be useful.

kr,
Binu

It works fine for me.
What document are you using?
What version of Expat are you using?
How is it compiled, for UTF-8 or UTF-16 output?
