I rather print the document using DOM printer. Roughly:
Dim xmlDoc As Object, root As Object
Dim nod0, nod1, nod2, nod3… As Object

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject(“MSXML2.DOMDocument”)
‘encoding
Set xmlNode = xmlDoc.createProcessingInstruction(“xml”, “cersion=’1.0’encoding = “‘UTF-8′”)
Set xmlNode = xmlDoc .InsertBefore(xmlNode, xmlDoc.ChildNodes.Item(0))
‘ children
Set nod0 = xmlDoc.crreateElement(“Root”)
xmlDoc.appendChild nod0
Set nod1 = xmlDoc.createElement(“childOne”)
nod0.appendChild nod1
‘etc etc
xmlDoc.Save PATH_TO_SAVE_XML_FILE

You can add atrtibutes by SetAttribute and node value by node.text

In reply to Dhronal Shah. Have You tried adding < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? > at the beginning of the xml file?

How do you ensure that xml is UTF-8 encoded?
