The burden of the reproducible example is on the poster, not one people
who reply ! ;-)

More seriously, you should really tell us what code you are using to
read the file. I know there can be differences according to whether you
set internal=TRUE or not when calling xmlTreeParse(), because when
internal=FALSE readLines() is used to read the contents of the file. You
should also try passing encoding="UTF-8" if your file does not specify
it.
