On more thought on this. In XML only the following unicode characters are allowed (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Char): Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] Java strings apparently can contain any character but the 64 reserved "non characters" (see http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch16.pdf#G19635). This means that there are quite a number of characters (2049 alone between D7FF and E000) that can cause similar problems. Note that encoding these as character references is also illegal (See http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-unparsed) so there is no solution for this, or is there? All of this is irrelevant for the "non breaking space" character. That character is legal in both Java and XML. I am actually wondering why it is even encoded as a character reference. Regards, Alex
