Remember that the idea is that the non-US character codes are being entered into the data. Not HTML entity codes.
Eg, in the XML file, on windows, enter ALT-0147 Hello World ALT-0148 Where ALT-0147 means: hold down the alt key while typing 0147, then release the ALT key. If you use the numeric keypad, be sure that NumLock is on. You should see the following in your XML file: “Hello World” (hopefully you're seeing two different quotes surrounding the phrase) -- the quotes should be "curly." That is, "left quote" and "right quote" Not "straight quotes". Everything on this line is a straight quote. And once you see the curly quotes in your xml file, you should then see them in the Timeline's title for that event, too.

Please choose UTF-8 encoding. Also include this declaration at the beginning of your XML file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Try to load your XML file directly into your browser and see how those characters appear. If they look fine, then I think they should look fine in the timeline.
