My xml file is ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tag>®</tag>
Using different tools the error is always along the lines of ...
"This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 11: Entity 'reg' not defined
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error."
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tag>&#ae;</tag>
"This page contains the following errors:
error on line 2 at column 8: CharRef: invalid decimal value
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error."
The only thing I could do was ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tag>&reg;</tag>
