Uploading Foreign language scorm files

I am using Lectora 2008. I had to uninstall and reinstall omitting the updates and it allowed the scorm files to encode using UTF-8.However, when I opened the xml pages in notepad I noticed that some of the 'special characters' were not recognised and therefore I could not upload the courses to LMS. Is this because Windows XP is not configured to translate special characters? Is there any software i can purchase to handle this?
