My guess is that your document is not really in UTF-8, but is instead
in a locale-specific encoding. Because your XML Declaration doesn't
identify the encoding, the document is interpreted as UTF-8, but your
document contains a series of octets that aren't legal UTF-8.

You should add an XML Declaration

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='???'?>

that identifies the actual encoding used in your document.

                                        Be seeing you,
