I do try to serialize this as UTF-8. Some questions ... What API are you using for serialization? Are you specifying an output encoding? What type of output are you writing to? A java.io.OutputStream? A java.io.Writer? > I see in the documentation that this is the correct behavior when > the serializer encounters a Unicode character that isn't recognized; > not sure if this means not recognized in the Unicode (internal) form > or there is no UTF-8 equivalent.

I think what you meant to say here is "not expressible in the output encoding". For instance ASCII is only capable of representing Unicode code points from 0x00-0x7F. 0xF7 isn't representable in ASCII. > I can send code. I've tried this on the latest Xerces-J.
