The character with ASCII or Unicode 18 is not allowed in XML, whether 
you put it into a CDATA or not.
Thus if you have input data with such characters and want to convert 
that data to XML then you have to either strip such characters or encode 
them in a form that they are allowed in XML (for instance base64 
encoding). What you do depends on your needs, whether you need those 
characters in the XML data (only encoded then) or whether you can simply 
throw them away as the application consuming the XML does not need them.
