dotnet ado.net : ReadXML error

I'm using DataSet.ReadXML method to populate the dataset with data from XML
file.
If one of the values contains apostrophe (for instance: It's something) then
an error occures:
System.Xml.XmlException: Invalid character in the given encoding.
Is this a bug or what? I wouldn't want to parse an XML created by another
program which is using the same ADO.NET for creating the file. On that side
apostrophe is allowed.

Thank you

Can you post the URL of that XML document? There seems to something
wrong with the way the document encodes its characters.

I found out that I cannot open that file in Internet Explorer either.
It says "An invalid character was found in a text content." I opened it in
Notepad and see there the character which looks like comma, but it's on the
place of apostrophe. I even cannot find it on my keyboard. Probably it's a
special character and it is not supported by XML. I need to find out what is
it and how it was entered by the user.

Thank you
