Hi,

jodleren a écrit :
>  <more>Ø</more>

if you write directly such a character, you have to mention the charset 
that you used with your editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="[the-encoding-that-contains-theOslash]"?>
(note that if you don't specify the encoding, the default is utf-8 or 
utf-16, therefore you can also replace in utf-8 the Ø by the 2 bytes C3 
98 (shown here in hexa))

otherwise, you can insert a character reference whatever the encoding used:
<more>&#216;</more>

>  <more>&Oslash;</more>

this doesn't work because XML is not HTML; an HTML parser relies on some 
hardcoded libraries of entities that maps Oslash to U+00D8, but with XML 
you have to declare this mapping explicitely (with ENTITY in the DTD) 
but I don't recommend such practice (trust me: don't do that)

XML contains 5 hard-coded entities: &amp; &quot; &apos; &lt; &gt;

"&amp;Oslash;" means that you explicitely wants the sequence of text 
"&Oslash;" and not an entity reference
