Another point to make about IE. It renders the XML in a nice and clean format but it is NOT exactly what is in the XML file.
I often use IE to look at XMLs quickly but to see what is REALLY in the file, I also use NotePad++. In fact, I am doing this stuff right now for issues in Panama.

I suspect I know what is happening, though I can't tell you WHY. The view source function is using an encoding that doesn't match your actual file. For example the view source may think its using UTF-16 for some reason, but since its really using UTF-8 the characters are all mangled. Its just a guess. I would recommend saving the file to disk and the use another editor like notepad++ which can tell you what the file encoding is. This is likely just a bug in IE 11. There are so many better editors out there for xml data, I would just use one of those instead.
