Hello, the majority of my sites use PHP MYSQL and XSLT for dynamic
pages and all of it works ok for English characters. The problem begins
when I try to use Romanian or Russian characters while creating the XML
string.

What I used to do is:
1) Query the MYSQL database that is UTF-8 (the conection is also set by
a query to UTF-8)
2) Create a XML string in PHP using the query results
3) Transform the XML string using a XSLT parser

As I said it all works ok with the English data but when I try using
Russian instead of letters I get question signs. If I try to echo the
Russian text when creating the XML data it is displayed correctly, so
the problem is in the XML string that is somehow not UTF-8 encoded or
what??

Can someone help me?
