Hi Giuseppe,

Have you tried to set your locale variable on your system? If it’s
Ubuntu, you could have a look here:

Hope this helps,

I notice that if I run "locale" from my MAC Terminal I get the correct one (utf-8), but if I run proc:system("locale") I get:

LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=

Is there a way to force BaseX to start with utf-8? Thanks.

Ciao,
Giuseppe

Hi Liam

Thanks. My locale is actually "en_US.UTF-8", so I do not know why the error is raised

A guess - sounds like an encoding error - 0xE2 is â in Unicode, and 128
suggests US ASCII was expected - check the encoding declaration on the
XML, or maybe it's a locale difference?
