In my tree.xml file, there are some Chinese characters in 'node-caption'. When I use firefox, these characters turned to be unreadable codes in tree of grid. If encoding of xml is changed to gb2312, the problem is solved. However, there left nothing in IE. Then my question is how to get Chinese characters readable in both IE and firefox?

And I found that Jqgrid can't put the xmlstring has Chinese characters into grid ,How to deal with the xmlstring with Chinese characters?
