foreign characters are corrupted.

I am using orbeon-xforms-filter 3.7.1.201003242100 and when I pass xml from an xform to a rest service, the foreign characters are corrupted. for example Héctor becomes HÃ©ctor . how do i correct this? thanks.

Where is that XML that contains that string ("Héctor")? Do you get it
from a service call (xforms:submission)? My suspicion is that you
might not have a character encoding specified in the XML or that the
declared character encoding does not match the actual encoding. Of
course, there is no way for me to say for sure without being able to
reproduce the issue.

i have the attribute - encoding="UTF-8" - in my <xforms:submission/> tag and it matches the xml declaration in the xsd file. are there other places where I need to set the encoding? thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the encoding attribute on the
<xforms:submission> as UTF-8 is the default. But make sure that in the
response of the REST service you have at the top of the file XML
declaration as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

If you do have one, and still have this problem, we would need a
reproducible test case to figure this one out.

I am not sure if this is relevant to you, but it may if you make SOAP
calls: we just put in a fix contributed by Olivier Thery that solves a
problem related to the encoding not being set correctly when making a
call to a SOAP service. That would only impact the data sent to the
SOAP service, but if that service receives the data with the wrong
encoding and returns that same data, it could also impact the data
returned by the service.
