Doesn't xml require utf-8? Don't know for a fact, just seems like I
picked that knwledge up on the street :).
Anyway, going to the issue of "umlauts, etc." from last week, if the
problem is how the character is rendered on the client, it could be due
to the encoding specified in the http header of the html <head>.
But I suspect there may also be a lingering gotcha in the Witango
string manipulation tags. I presume that Witango string manipulation
uses the character set specified in its environment variable (for
whatever user it's running as). But if you want to manipulate strings
in a different character set, you're in trouble.

Hi folks,
By default Witango supports ISO-8859-1 character sets (basic latin
characters), but newer versions apparently support UTF-8, which is
more extensive.
Note, I don't remember which version
introduced the UTF-8 support.
In theory you should be able to just assign the encoding set when your
DOM variable is assigned, something like:
<@ASSIGN local$myVar value="<@dom value='<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" ?><MyXml anAttribute="some characters" />'>">
So your success may depend on what version of Witango you are running.
And as for encoding your character as € as your alternative? This
is standard XML practice - get used to it.
Have a nice day :-)

I have the same problem since I have install Witango 5.5
Server. In prior versions it have work fine.
One way for a work around:
<@REPLACE STR="<@elementvalue object=user$allstringsdom
element='root().id(Feld_@@local$Step)' encoding=none>"
FINDSTR="?" REPLACESTR="€">

Subject: Witango-Talk: support for @DOM encoding
Hi Folks,
I wonder would anyone be able to tell me what character
set the @DOM tag supports?
I assign the Euro symbol (€) as part of the XML
document using the @DOM tag, but when I read the value back
out of the XML document it appears as a ? rather than the
Euro symbol. This is causing me a bit of a problem and I am
wondering if theres a way around it. Replacing the Euro
symbol with the HTML equivalent € appears to be too
complicated in my scenario.
Thanks
Mike.
