Just so we don't make the assumption… your XML file declares it is encoded as ISO-8879, right? (Since that is the doc you are looking at) How about if you change the XML file to be encoded to 8859? Does the parser behave better then? Which leads to the question, what parser are you using? (The default in 1.4 is crimson.)

also tried ߪ which is supposed to be the numerical ref, but
that gives me back a black square in Java instead of giving back an
ellipsis.

For now, I am cheating and turning the ellipsis into three periods.
Does anyone know a correct, working character entity for ellipses?
