Error with special characters

[d0ktrd4n]

I am using Doxygen to generate documentation for an application in Brazilian Portuguese and I want to check documentation coverage, but I am facing a bit of an odd error.

Some of the comments happen to make use of accents for that language. For example, "não" (Portuguese for "no") or "instruções" (for "instructions").

When I try to run coveryxgen, I receive the following error:

Command:
$ python3 -m coverxygen --xml-dir docs/xml/ --src-dir . --output -
error: error while parsing xml file docs/xml/.xml : not well-formed (invalid token): line 567, column 138

When I look at the XML file in the corresponding line and column I find one of those symbols (in the example above it was a c-cedil (ç), but a-tilde (ã) or a-acute (á) were also flagged. And there may be several others.

I'm running into this as well.
