Look in the XML document for the "odd characters", find them, match them with whatever is producing them in the Java output, and fix it.

The thing is I tried that but the odd characters I'm not sure what to search for. It's really funny symbols.

Search for the garbage characters in your input before you produce the XML. You'll find the documentation for what characters are valid in XML documents in section 2.2 of the XML Recommendation here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets

I'm not really sure how to search for the garbage characters though. I get the input as String. The site you gave me gives me a range of characters but how do I tell if the character is in that range?I mean I can

Would this function help?

Character.isISOControl(char ch)

Character.isValidCodePoint(int codePoint)
