AFAIK, utf-8 supports only the alphanumerical characters used in english, without offering support for european characters.
But in general, any undisplayable characters can be represented in XML by using their hexadecimal representation:
&#xHHHH, where HHHH can be the hexadecimal code for a given character.
It is up to the displaying client to solve that reference to a character.
For your case, you should have instead of e' &xE8.
