XML is Unicode, and ElementTree supports all common encodings just
fine (including UTF-8).

this works just fine on my machine.

what's the exact error message?

what does

    print repr(open("test2.xml").read())

print on your machine?

what happens if you attempt to parse

<Vocab>
    <Word L1="&#50612;&#45397;&#54616;&#49464;&#50836;!" />
</Vocab>

?
