XML with international characters

I'm trying an example in the ASP.Net unleashed book, using a Treeview and an
XML file
The XML file came from a spit-out (for xml) of a query in the Northwind
database, giving me Categories and Products

The only thing, that when it tries to read the XML nodes with international
characters, it pukes and dies
How can I get around it, so that the XML is readable, using an
XMLDataSource, and then load it into the Treeview, with international
Characters?

XML supports Unicode so international characters are not a problem if
the XML document is properly encoded (and declares the encoding in the
XML declaration if necessary).
What error exactly do you get? Does IE parse the XML document without
errors? If not then the document is not properly encoded.
How exactly do you create the XML document?
