Encoding of bullet character in XML

[jonharris7]

I'm trying to figure out the proper way to encode a bullet character (ASCII charater 149 decimal or 0x95 hex) in an XML document. Can I just put in a literal 0x95 code, i.e. a 0x95 hex character when viewed in a hex editor?

Or is it legal to specify a specic hex character in XML such as \x95 ?

How about as • ?

I'm getting mixed results depending on what XML parsers I use, some of which are home-grown. I've been experimenting with both Windows-1252 encoding and UTF-8. Windows-1252 is preferred if I can do it using that.

Thanks in advance for your help!

If numeric entities are use, use unicode •.

Any idea how I could make this more generic, i.e. handle any ANSI character from 128-255?
