+ <para>
+ Each XML parser can be created for a given <glossterm>character
+ encoding</glossterm>. Currently, the supported encodings are
+ ISO-8859-1, US-ASCII and UTF-8. The former two are single-byte
+ encodings, which means that each character is represented by a
+ single byte. UTF-8 can encode characters composed by a
+ variable number of bits (max 21) in one to four bytes. The
+ default encoding used by PHP is ISO-8859-1.
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ The character encoding given to
+ <function>xml_parser_create</function> is only used on the
+ parsed XML documents. All string passed to handler functions
+ has been decoded to single bytes, and characters with values
+ that can not be represented by a singly byte have been
+ replaced by question marks.
