Hi Curt,
We are facing problems with this chatacter "�" issue,
Is there any standard convention for representing a character of
value 0 in
XML
(and other control characters)? I understand that we can't
actually *have*
such a character - that's why � is illegal - but sometimes we
want to
output
data that includes such characters.
or How to escape these characters in xml report.

Certain characters are prohibited from being represented in XML
content, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#charsets.
Other characters, such as <, "" and & which are used in markup have
to be represented by entity references such as < , " and
&. In addition, it might be prudent to represent characters with
code points > 127 using numeric character references which would
eliminate the possibility to misinterpret characters due improper
encoding.
So you'd have:
Prohibited character values (0x0000, 0x0007): Either substitute place
holder character (for example, '?') or markup (<badchar>0000</badchar>).
Markup characters (<): Substitute built in entities: <
Code points > 127: Substitute hex character reference.
