UTF-8 characters in CDATA section

[Mihai Matei <mi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to add the attached file's contents to a CDATA section in an xml. It contains a few Unicode-UTF8 characters from http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8-t1.html. (you can view the file with Firefox, set the Character Encoding to Unicode(UTF8)).

//string 'text' has the contents;
//if I output it to a file with ofstream, the UTF8 characters are preserved

DOMElement* pText = pDoc->createElement( X(tag.c_str()));
DOMCDATASection* pCdata = pDoc->createCDATASection(X(text.c_str()));
pText->appendChild(pCdata);
parent->appendChild(pText);

the resulting xml however loses the UTF-8 characters. Is it the X() macro that is to blame, or can I set other XML Document properties so
 I keep my UTF8 chars?

Thanks.

The X() macro is a helper class that converts from the local encoding 
to Unicode; if you have UTF-8 data, you need to use instead the UTF-8 
transcoder.
