Hi Roy,
 
this is XML-Encoding. You can read about this in the xml-specs (www.w3c.org)

        Betreff: Encoding question, UTF-8, '&' escaped chars, etc.
        
        
I'm fetching data from my SOAP service, and some of that data contains
characters with the high-bit set.  For example, one of the characters is
ASCII 0xD0.  When my client receives the data, this has been transformed
into the sequence "­".  And yes, my client is a legacy, non-Java
client, so I have to decode all this myself.

First of all, I've seen this sort of thing before, with "'" and
"<" etc., though I've never known what RFC actually specifies this
encoding.  Anyone care to correct me on that?

I'm guessing that "­" is an octal encoding of data, so this
represents 0x7B, which is not the 0XD0 I was expecting.  Do I need to now
decode 0x7B as a UTF-8 character?

Any advice appreciated....
