Thanks Rahul, this worked - strange as it is a solution. A BOM is not generally used in UTF-8, as it is unnecessary and can interfere with shell scripting in the general case. Anyway, good to see those characters appear.

Hi, I have an XML file with Greek characters, saved in UTF-8 and loaded into MSColumn3D.swf using the setDataUrl method. However, all the Greek characters appear as other strange characters. The xml file is attached, along with a screenshot showing the strange characters. Please suggest a way to resolve this. Thanks. Craig greek.xml
