UTF-8 and UTF-16 both are "universal" and can show any characters (cover
most known languages).
If you save your document in these formats you don't have to use encoding
declaration - it doesn't hurt to specify it though. At loading/parsing
stage xml parsers default to UTF-8.
If you want to use for example latin1 character set you must specify
encoding="ISO-8859-1".
Working with latin1 you can use any legacy text editor etc. to save your doc.
