UTF-16 in Xml

Post by PdFUser5000 »

Hello

is UTF-16 not supported in switch metadata?

Tried using it, but I get an error: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding!

Many XML files do not have an XML declaration as the first line:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
That is OK, but then UTF-8 is assumed. Perhaps your XML file does not have such a declaration?

I have a declaration. I tried UTF-16 and Windows-1252 which did not work. FInally i tried ISO-8859-1 instead, and it worked.
