Conversion from Unicode to Original format into XML file using c#

Question

Please let me know how to write a unicode [ex: \] value into XML file as [?]escape symbol

I'm using UTF8 encoding and XMLWriter in C#, but it saves as "&#x1B ;" into XML

instead i want it to be written as "?" escape symbol into XML.. Is this possible?

Thanks

Vinu

The Unicode character x1B is not legal in XML 1.0; it cannot be present in an XML document with or without escaping.

In XML 1.1 it can be written as  , but Microsoft's XML libraries do not support XML 1.1.
