As far as I can see (googling) UCS-2 is a subset of UTF-16. The following note is in the XML::Parser docs: Expat has built-in encodings for: C<UTF-8>, C<ISO-8859-1>, C<UTF-16>, and C<US-ASCII>. Encodings are set either through the XML declaration encoding attribute or through the ProtocolEncoding option to XML::Parser or XML::Parser::Expat. Try modifying the charset entry in the XML file from ISO-10646-UCS-2 to UTF-16 and see if that helps. You can also file a request/bug-report with your findings at the relevant request tracker entry.

Perhaps your XML file conforms to ISO/IEC 10646? Google "ISO 10646" to find a plethora of information on this. It would help to know your OS, situation, code snippet, etc. On my linux, box, there are encoding files (`lib/XML/Parser/Encodings`) that I assume help with some of these international encodings: `big5.enc euc-kr.enc iso-8859-2.enc iso-8859-3.enc iso-8859-4.enc iso-8859-5.enc iso-8859-7.enc iso-8859-8.enc iso-8859-9.enc windows-1250.enc windows-1252.enc x-euc-jp-jisx0221.enc x-euc-jp-unicode.enc x-sjis-cp932.enc x-sjis-jdk117.enc x-sjis-jisx0221.enc x-sjis-unicode.enc` [download] however iso-10646 isn't available in my installation of XML Encodings. *"Look, Shiny Things!"* is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.

I have the same problem, which is why I am asking this question. Even after doing the whole google thing and super-searching I am still unable to find out where to find this particular `*.enc` file	[reply] [d/l]
