Thanks! This method worked fine for me:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
def render_to_xmlutf8(template, isodata):
rendered = render_to_string(template, isodata)
result = rendered.encode('utf-8')
return HttpResponse(result, mimetype="text/xml",
content_type='utf-8')
