title: base64 decode French characters
body: <p>We are getting base64 encoded (XML) data from a third party. If the XML data is in English, everything works fine, I am able do base64 decode, and parse the XML. If the XML is all lower case French characters, everything works fine. But if the xml data contains upper case French characters (like &amp;Agrave), if I do base64 decode and try to parse it, the parser fails. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
