What! I hardly believe that. That might be the case for HTML but I don't 
think it is for XML. There are many file formats that are based on XML. 
I don't think all those use HTML codes.

This is what W3 Schools says:

"XML documents can contain non ASCII characters, like Norwegian æ ø å , 
or French ê è é.

To avoid errors, specify the XML encoding, or save XML files as Unicode.".
