Handling Non-English characters in XML output file

Hi Gurus,

I am facing an issue to export Non-English characters into an XML file using XML EXPLICIT.

Any idea how I can export the correct Non-English data into a XML file.

1. My DB file has character set encoding - windows-1252 (ASCII)

2. I converted a column data type to NVARCHAR from VARCHAR

3. The Non-English data saves correctly now

4. But when I export the data into XML file, it gives me error "control character in XML output"

Question 1 - Is there s way I can fix this problem in this scenario ?

I also tried another scenarioby changing the DB file to UTF-8 encoding and keeping NVARCHAR

Now, when I am extracting the XML File, I am not getting the error but the output for that particular Non-English character is '??'.

Question 2 - Is there to get the correct Non-English data in the output file.

Thanks

Ramendra
