Each XML file should, on the very first line of the file, begin with a declaration of the form:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
An XML file with this declaration is assumed to be encoded using the UTF-8 encoding for escaped Unicode characters. To specify a different character encoding, use a declaration of this form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="encodingname" ?>where encodingname is equal to the name of a supported XML encoding (for example, ISO-8859-1 or SHIFT_JIS. For a list of the XML encodings supported by the ATG XML parser, go to http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/faq-general.html.
It is possible to combine files that have different encodings. The resulting combined XML file (which exists only as a temporary file) is always reduced to a common encoding of UTF-8.
