Hello community,

I had an xsd file that contains an element whithim their values containes different special character like :

<xsd:enumeration value="DB/µV"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="dB(A)"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="°"/>.

When I generate the model ,my java classes doesn't understand the µ and ° character and replace them with "?".

How can I fix it?

Those aren't valid characters to use in a *.xsd for this purpose.

Best would be to add ecore:name annotation to give it a meaningful name:

<xsd:enumeration ecore:name="Degree" value="°"/>

Of course you should declare xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" too. For me that generates this:

DEGREE(0, "Degree", "\u00b0")
