You have to embed the font (and select the proper ranges) for the dynamic textfield to display special characters.

You have to convert the xml file to UTF-8 in your notepad (save as encoded text UTF-8)

Yes saving in UTF-8 encoding format will solve your problem.

To be more clear open XML file in notepad... choose File-> Save As and select
UTF-8 in the Encoding: option at the bottom of the Save As Dialog and save.
