Problems with French Characters

I am having a problem with two OSes. One is running windows 2003 and sending XML to a second system running Unix (HP-UX 11i v1). Windows sends XML to the UNIX system fine but then the UNIX system reads the buffer file and turns the french characters into the following:

é Ú

É ╔

Î ╬

è þ

î ¯

Anyone know why this is happening?

that might be because of the difference in the ASCII char..

That is what we were thinking and after hours came to that conclusion, lol. Any ideas of a solution?

I should have asked here earlier.

Ú--218
É--201
