Thanks Ian
I've tried using ISO-8859-1 but this still comes out with a preceeding
Swedish looking character.
By character codes do you mean "£" or "&0163;" ? I've also tried these
and get the following:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "pound" was reference but not
declared.
and for "&0163;"
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity name must immediately follow the
'&' in the entity reference.
Any other suggestions?
regards
Richard

The simplest way is to set the encoding of your documents to be
ISO-8859-1, or store them in proper UTF-8. Alternatively, if you know
their character codes, you can use character references (for example,
� is a GB pound sign).
