Yes please do if you are satisfied with the result.

I remember to have had exactly the same problem but I really can't
remember what I did. I just remember that it was something obvious
or that in fact it was working. I've search in past projects without
being able to find a trace. I'll give it a try next week if no one else
has helped you out.

All XML processors must accept the UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings
cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210

So don't feed the parser with unicode types, but with utf-8.
