What encoding is this character? And how to handle it in xml-CodePudding

<tac id="10" name="KD&#11;#36">

I have a program that saves in xml (using Java). But after saving this line, the xml cannot be loaded anymore (SAX Parser). Do I need to change the xml header to something else than UTF-8, if yes, to what?

CodePudding user response：

The numeric character reference is illegal in XML 1.0, but it is allowed in XML 1.1. Java's SAX parser should be able to parse XML 1.1, but this requires that the XML declaration at the top of the document specifies version 1.1:

<?xml version="1.1"?>

CodePudding user response：

Okay I figured it out.

Its "KD" plus the ASCII control character VTAB plus "#36".

Apparently Java cannot properly write that char to xml, so I just use regex to replace it with something else before writing to xml.
