UTF-8 can represent any Unicode character, so there should be no problem as
long as the characters in the document _are_ valid.
The usual reason the parser gives the error is because there's an invalid
UTF-8 byte sequence, at which point the parser ends up consuming the
beginning of the markup for the closing tag. You should check the bytes in
that element's content to make sure you actually have correctly encoded
characters.
Interestingly enough, I was just about to post a bug because the parser
accepts invalid UTF-8 byte sequences without reporting an error. It's also
possible that the parser's UTF-8 decoder has a bug with some byte
sequences, but it's been around for a while, so it's been through a lot of
testing.

Please
respond to

Not sure if this is accurate, but I thought some Asian languages could not
be represent in UTF-8. Can someone confirm this? Is there a way to escape
the problem character(s)?

Please respond to xerces-c-dev utf-8 with SAX
I am having some trouble with Asian-language data in the SAX parser.
Specifically, some data that is originally in Taiwanese (roc15)
is converted to utf-8 and embedded in an XML message.
All the tags and attributes, etc. are in English, all the data is
in Taiwanese.
The problem occurs when I use the SAX parser to validate the message:
it hits a piece of data that it interprets as end-of-data, and complains
that it can't find the end tag that should follow the data.
I get this error in versions 1.3 and 1.5, in my own code and when I
run my data through the sample programs (i.e., SAXPrint, SAX2Print,
SAXCount, etc.).
Several people familiar with the language have confirmed the fitness of the
data.
My code is modeled after the SAXPrint example - is there anything missing
there for processing Asian language data written in utf-8?
