ÆØÅ letters in XML files + flash?

How do i make XML accept ÆØÅ letters in XML files… I’m working on an XML driven flash+xml website… and i have to use danish letters like æøå, but when i write them in the XML file, it just removes the letter… why? I remembered to embed the letters in the dynamic text field…

Does it have something to do with this:

<?xml version=“1.0”?>
