Altova : Altova Mailing List Archives

Does XML encoding charset include "curly brackets" as valid characters ? My version <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> does not seem to support curly brackets when I try to read them from the file. <Id> {2.3434} </Id} I have tried replacing them with the hexadecimal values also (&#x7B and &#x7D). I thought it was an issue with Carbon but I would like to know if I can use curly brackets in XML files. Thanks in advance for your help. kitty
