I receive the following exception and stack trace when I parse a particular
xml document:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Character reference "" is an invalid
XML character.

The offending character is definitely in the file. It is in the value of
an element attribute. The file was written by using a SAX serializer and
standard SAX api calls to create elements and add attributes. The file has
never been edited directly. For that reason I don't understand how the
parser could have a problem reading it.
I originally accepted the defaults for encoding, but I have also tried
UTF-16 and UTF-16BE. Same problem in all cases.
Any thoughts?
