XML Output contains invalid character (£)

Hello,

 

When I open my XML in notepad++ it contains the following character instead of a GBP sign (£) :

When I place a Browse tool at the same point as the Output tool is appears as though the symbol should be outputting correctly:

My Output tool is currently set as follows:

Is there something I need to change in order for my Output to contain the £ sign instead of this invalid character? Or is there a tool/formula I can use to stop this? I thought potentially REGEX REPLACE but the £ sign appears as expected before it is output.

Hi @HenpetsGordres1 

 

This is an issue of character encoding. To resolve this, you'll need to change the "Code Page" setting in the tool configuration below. Try Unicode UTF-8.

Unicode UTF-8 done the trick! Thanks Charlie.
