XML encoding problem

[Nutshell]

Hi!

I am using Xerces 2.2.0 for C++ as XML parser and I have problems when
transcoding central european signs to unicode, that is I get strange signs
in the XML output file and not the ones I want there to be.

Default encoding type for XML document is UTF-8.

To transcode chars to unicode I use
XMLString::transcode(someData).unicodeForm().

I would appreciate any help on this, if someone has experience with this
issue.

Thnx, in advance.

Strange signs?

Perhaps you have some confusion on the input between ISO-8859-2 and
cp1250. Give examples!
