Declaring the Character Set in Use
You must include the following parameter in the XML version declaration of your XML, XSD, or DTD document to declare the character set in use, if it is not the default of UTF-8: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
Supported character sets include but are not limited to ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 (Big or Small Endian), UCS4 (Big or Small Endian), EBCDIC code pages IBM037 and IBM1140 encodings, ISO-8859-1, and Windows-1252. This means that the XML parser can parse input XML files in these encodings. The followings are the corresponding encodings names to be used in the XML declaration: US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-10646-UCS-4, ebcdic-cp-us, ibm1140, ISO-8859-1, and windows-1252. Also, the output can be in one of the following XML encodings: UTF-8, UTF-16, or local code page The character set declaration encoding must appear after the version declaration. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
