Special Charset Encoding

The Érudit PS requires that the XML documents must be encoded as UTF-8, and they must have it’s enconding explicity identified at the XML Declaration.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The special characters, must be writen as is in the document or using it’s hexadecimal numeric reference. As example, the character sigma uperscript should be represented by Σ or &#x03A3;.

Note

Érudit PS recomend the use of the original characters besides the haxadecimal notation.

It is not allowed the use of any private character reference of the ASCII definition. They are the Unicode within the iterval of xE000 – xF8FF.

XML entities are also accepted and must be used to represent the desired character:
