Parse exception with french characters

My parsing program throws a SaxParseException upon the parse of some french characters; in particular a "? character. These characters are enclosed in a CDATA tag, so I'm not sure why its being parsed. My file is encoded in UTF-8. How can resolve this problem? Thanks

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalidbyte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Your file is not encoded in UTF-8, although the XML prolog claims it is.And everything in your document is parsed. Parsing is what the parser does to convert text to an internal format. All text.

Most likely the creator of the file is at fault. But it's possible that it has been through some transformation between them and you that rewrote it in a new charset.

Sure, the real encoding could be ISO-8859-1. Or it could be windows-1252. Other encodings are possible but unlikely, I suppose.
