unless we have a cut-and-paste problem here, that looks like invalid XML; the header says UTF-8, but the test element contains ISO-8859-1 text. try changing "utf-8" to "iso-8859-1" to see if that helps. and you really need to fix the originating system, to make sure that the en- coding header matches the encoding used for the content. </F>
