It produdes Xerces 2.6.2 (LSParser, LSSerializer and XMLSerializer). I've been using xerces parser and serializer in my java authoring tool to load and save documents. I've found out the problem with encoding when I loaded and displayed the xml document (with char. ref. form chars) in the jeditpanel component. Instead of + and ⁢ I saw '+' and 'square-liked character. I tried to serialized xml document to console as well as to file, load document via InputStream or Reader input with LSInput but I never got results where would be chars sequence in origin form. Only when I explicitly set encoding in LSInput to (ISO-8859-1)and loaded it via InputStream then the chars sequence ⁢ kept in the same form but the sequence + was changed to '+' character anyway. Then I tried to debug structure of DOM document (in Eclipse 3.1) but saw the same results (+ char and square char, probably it's only problem of showing utf-8 chars in eclipse.) So to be honest I don't know now, how to find out, where is the problem, whether is it during parsing, serializing or displaying data. I'm not so experienced in encodings as well as in charsets but as far as I know java treat internaly with chars in UTF-16 charset, could be it the a part of the problem ? I don't really know.
Thanks for any ideas.

Are you sure you're not looking at the result in some editor (that is using the wrong code page to represent your characters)? XML parsers deliver characters in Unicode. You are apparently trying to use the characters as though each character had eight bits. Tell us a little more about what steps you took to see what you describe and maybe someone will be able to help.
