You're hosed. Your data coming in isn't XML, much as it may claim to be.
If it's not UTF-8 or UTF-16, and it doesn't include an encoding declaration saying what it is, it's too much to expect any processor to handle it.
Nothing you do with your stylesheet will help. Saying it's Unicode when it's not (which is effectively what's happening now) won't help either.
If I were you, I'd shout up the line. It's like someone saying to a carpenter "your job is to build mahogany desks" and then providing rubber tires as raw material. The tools just won't do it. (Getting them to put an XML declaration on those files with a correct encoding declaration on it, would give you a chance.)

I am trying to transform an HTTP XML document which contains special characters using MSXML. I receive the following error when the transformation occurs:
XML Error loading '' An invalid character was found in text content.
I have no control over the format of the XML document. The XML document has <?xml version="1.0"?>in the first line. Microsoft's site says: Re-encode the XML data as proper UTF-8.
I added the following to my XSL file but it still doesn't work: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Since I can't change the original XML file, how can I resolve this problem.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
