I suspect your data is not in utf-8 (or utf-16). If the pound sign is encoded in
latin1 (or a windows encoding), then the XML is not well-formed.

You can check that by doing for example iconv -f utf8 -t utf8 myfile.xml If that
fails, then add an XML declaration with the proper encoding at the top of the
file or convert it to utf8 (using iconv again).

Does that help?
