Hi!

I just googled

"0x93 maps to a Unicode control character, however, it maps to the curly quotes in windows (and maybe latin1?) On importing the data originally, it may 'translate' the curly quote to 0x93."

 

So, probably, you are using a different characterset in the editor than defined in the <?xml ...?> definition, or you used the problematic character in one of your report labels, and did not take care of the character set?

 

Hope this helps,

Sebastian
