SOAP character encoding bug

When returning ° from a SOAP server (PEAR::SOAP latest CVS), I get the following soap_fault: soap_fault Object ( [error_message_prefix] => [mode] => 1 [level] => 1024 [code] => Parser [message] => XML error on line 10: not well-formed (invalid token) [userinfo] => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:si="http://soapinterop.org/xsd" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><SOAP-ENV:Body> <getItemsResponse><return xsi:type="xsd:string">°</return></getItemsResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> [callback] => ) Shouldn't PEAR::SOAP be able to parse the degree char properly? Attached is the client/server code I've used to reproduce this bug. - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
