String character range

[Carlos Rodrigo Blanco]

Hi

I'm sorry that I don't know much about unicode encoding and 
I feel quite ashamed of showing this ignorance, but I wonder 
what happens with latin characters and so.

If I have to write, for instance, some author name in a xml 
document that includes some latin character (like ñ), is 
that allowed?
