It sounds like the parser is trying to parse the CLOB as UTF-8 despite its
actual encoding. The character "ø" is 0xF8 (11111000) in ISO 8859-1, which
would be interpreted as the start of a 5-byte UTF-8 sequence; the other
characters you mention are not valid UTF-8 sequence starters.
What code are you using to parse the CLOB and to set the encoding? I
suspect that, rather than simply inserting an XML declaration in the CLOB,
you need to actually instruct the parser what encoding to use for reading
the input.
