Remarks
Encodings include UTF8, ANSI, and Unicode. If Output Encoding is not set, encoding defaults to UTF8.
If a template is specified at the URL using the template= keyword, the encoding is Unicode. For all other templates, the encoding is obtained from the template, which is a valid XML document and, therefore, has its own encoding.
If an XML template is specified at the URL (instead of as a Transact-SQL query) and Output Encoding is also specified, the encoding specified in Output Encoding overrides the template.
