First, be sure the content in the XML document you're getting back matches the encoding in the header. If it doesn't and you have no control over the creation of it, you'll have to figure out the character set yourself. There's also some methods in NSString that will try to figure out that for you and return that. Secondly, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 are not equivalent. -- Gary L.
