Not to nudge too much into the inner working fo you project, but it seems too me like you have a character encoding issue. I've had these types of issue using other languages. Usually they steam from an into put source that is not encoding the file properly for OS platform.
My first question would are you running this project on multiple platforms? (Linux, Solaris, NT, etc.) If so if make your code has proper checks on the files encoding. These squares look to me be like carriage returns. I would also check to see if all your developers IDE and editors are set to save is the same encoding format.(ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, etc.) Try insert a new xml document from your system into the DB and then retrieve it. It help to see if it's just your machine out of sync with the DB's encoding. Also, earlier I posted ( email title: A Solution to a few XML result set problems) sample class that retrives nodes from getContentAsDOM method and returns it as a DOM Document, DOM4J Document, or as a UTF string. You might want to take a look and see if it will help your project. I'm sorry I could not be more help.
