Scientific Symbols Such as Degree and Squared in XML

[Ayron]

Is it possible to have scientific symbols (e.g. degree, squared, cubed,
etc.) in XML docs if the UTF-8 encoding is specified? Is there a
limitation?

Thanks.

Yes.

Is there a limitation?

Symbols of profanity are not allowed in the United States.

When did they get added to Unicode?

Certainly. UTF-8 is capable of representing all characters defined in Unicode
(and, actually, more - you could use Private Use codepoints for your own
characters, though you most probably don't need that).

In addition, you can use character references, irrespectively of the
encoding. Such as ° or (equivalently) for the degree sign.
You don't normally need them, if you can use a UTF-8 capable editor or
another program that can generate UTF-8 encoded XML documents for you.

The hex number must be prefixed by 'x': °
