I'm not sure what you mean, all the encoding tables I have looked at show the e-acute as hex C3 A9 under UTF8?

        I see now I was using wrong input to perl string 
        $ perl -e" binmode STDOUT,q!:encoding(UTF-8)!; print qq!\N{U+00E9}!" |
+od -tx1
0000000 c3 a9
0000002

$ perl -e" binmode STDOUT,q!:encoding(UTF-8)!; print qq!\xE9!" |od -tx
+1
0000000 c3 a9
0000002

$ perl -e" binmode STDOUT,q!:encoding(UTF-8)!; print qq!\x{00E9}!" |od
+ -tx1
0000000 c3 a9
0000002

$ perl -e" binmode STDOUT,q!:encoding(UTF-8)!; print qq!\x{C3A9}!" |od
+ -tx1
0000000 ec 8e a9
0000003

        You could have avoided my nonsense if you provided code in in Re^4: XML:: DOM and Accented Characters, thanks :)
