What do you mean by "non-printable"? Not every program or console can display all characters, and not every program will interpret UTF-8, and not every system has the fonts installed to display all of the code points. I've found that if you write UTF-8 to a text document and open it with MS Office Word version 2003 or later it tends to display properly.

I'm creating a transcoder to this. The output of the transcodeTo is a bunch of non-printable characters. I'm using Xerces 2.8 on Visual Studio 2005. Any help will be much appreciated! //--------------------------------------------------------------// szBuffer = "Blah here!"; sizeBuffer = strlen(szBuffer); XMLTransService::Codes failReason; XMLRecognizer::Encodings encodingEnum = XMLRecognizer::encodingForName(XMLUni::fgUTF8EncodingString); XMLTranscoder* utf8Transcoder = XMLPlatformUtils::fgTransService->makeNewTranscoderFor( encodingEnum, failReason, 16*1024); int InLength = XMLString::stringLen(szBuffer); int OutLength = InLength * 7; XMLByte* res = new XMLByte[OutLength]; // output string // Source string is in Unicode, want to transcode to UTF-8 unsigned int charsEaten = 0; unsigned int total_chars = 0; total_chars = utf8Transcoder->transcodeTo((const XMLCh*)szBuffer, InLength, res, OutLength - 1, charsEaten, XMLTranscoder::UnRep_Throw);
