[xep-support] invalid bytes

[Hamacher, Eric]

Hello:

I have a valid XML and a valid XSL file which I transformed into a FO using Saxon.  However, XEP is stumbling on some characters like 0xa9 (which is a copyright symbol) and giving the following output.  How can I instruct XEP to handle these bytes?   Thanks.

C:\XEP>xep -valid -fo c:\temp\XXXXXXXX_fo.xml -pdf c:\temp\XXXXXXXX_pdf.pdf
(document [system-id file:/c:/temp/XXXXXXXX_fo.xml]
  [error] Fatal parse error: file:/c:/temp/XXXXXXXX_fo.xml: : invalid UTF-8 byte
 (check the XML declaration) (code: 0xa9)
)
Parse error: invalid UTF-8 byte (check the XML declaration) (code: 0xa9)
