special character for degree symbol

 This is the first time I've seen this error.

We have a string stored in the Baan ERP application table field that contains special character of degree symbol. From the application GUI it was typed in as "Alt+248" and in oracle it shows value 176. But when we try to print it in report to an ASCII file it prints "\260"... any XML parser doesn't recognise this and errors out. I am not very familiar with XML. If any gurus out there have seen this before, could you please shed some light? Thank you very much.

Howdy, Stranger!
