Actually the passed encoding is not used, because wxJS uses wxWidgets in 
unicode. As stated in the wxWidgets manual:
*
-------------------------
wxString*(*const wchar_t**/ psz/, *wxMBConv 
<http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxmbconv.html#wxmbconv>&*/ 
conv/, *size_t*/ nLength = wxSTRING_MAXLEN/)

Initializes the string from first /nLength/ characters of wide string. 
The default value of wxSTRING_MAXLEN means take all the string. In ANSI 
build, /conv/'s WC2MB 
<http://www.wxwindows.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxmbconv.html#wxmbconvwc2mb> 
method is called to convert /psz/ to wide string. It is ignored in 
Unicode build.

The weird characters already shows up in the XML_Char argument of the 
StartElementHandler
