I have an app that is being translated to Spanish. The purpose of the app is
to solve equations and uses Greek characters for the parameter symbols. I
store all this information in xml files.



For some reason when i save the file the Spanish text is correct, e.g. chars
like "ó" are present however the Greek chars are incorrect or if i change
the encoding the Greek is correct (like "?") but the Spanish chars are
dropped from the words eg ( neumático becomes neumtico).



Does anyone have any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? The funny part is
that this was working before but now it's not.

Use UTF-8 for your encoding.

ok figured it out....

i was using some source files that when viewed in notepad showed the correct
spanish chars but when opened it didn't see it as UTF-8; i think it was
ANSI. When i resaved the source files as UTF-8 the run my project then it
all worked out.

thanks for the help MichKa, got the ball rolling in my mind on what to look
at.
