I have a Lazarus project where the .lpi file has a copyright symbol © (alt 0169) in the version information string. I need to be able to read this lpi file to extract various project settings for some internal deployment and documentation tools.

Relevant fragment of the LPI file:
Code: XML  [Select][+][-]
  1.  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  2. <CONFIG>
  3.   <ProjectOptions>
  4.     <VersionInfo>
  5.       <UseVersionInfo Value="True"/>
  6.       <AutoIncrementBuild Value="True"/>
  7.       <MajorVersionNr Value="1"/>
  8.       <MinorVersionNr Value="5"/>
  9.       <BuildNr Value="63"/>
  10.       <StringTable LegalCopyright="©My Company 2019-2021"/>
  11.     </VersionInfo>
  12.   </ProjectOptions>
  13. </CONFIG>

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program project1;
  2.  
  3. uses
  4.   DOM,XMLRead,SysUtils;
  5.  
  6. var
  7.   Doc: TXMLDocument;
  8. begin
  9.   Doc:=TXMLDocument.Create;
  10.   try
  11.     try
  12.       ReadXMLFile(Doc,'sample.lpi');
  13.     except
  14.       on E:Exception do
  15.         Writeln(E.ClassName,' : ',E.Message);
  16.     end;
  17.   finally
  18.     Doc.Free;
  19.     Write('Press Enter to close:');
  20.     ReadLn;
  21.   end;
  22. end.

Results in

How can I load this XML?

Add package LazUtils to the requirements of your project and then replace units DOM and XMLRead by Laz2_DOM and Laz2_XMRead, respectively, to get the utf8 versions of these units:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. uses
  2.   Laz2_DOM, Laz2_XMLRead, SysUtils;
