XML Translation Problem

I've got an application where I'm passing data to an RPG stored procedure using XML (the data is coming from a web page via Lotus Domino, but I'm not sure that's relevant). In the stored procedure, I use XML-INTO to load the data into
externally-described data structures and then store it in the associated physical files. Everything was going fine until we discovered today that some of the data contains some oddball characters -- e.g. "greater than or equal to" (U+2265). The XML
string is coming in as "≥", which looks right, but the character is not getting into the physical file correctly.

I figured it had to do with the CCSID of _something_, and my first guess was the file. I tried changing its CCSID from 37 (our default) to 65535 and also 819, but neither of them worked. I also tried 1208, but CHGPF didn't like that one. I've googled
around on the web, but a lot of what I find seems to assume that I know what CCSID I'm aiming for, but that's my problem -- I don't know how to figure out what CCSID might work.

As you can tell, I'm pretty new to all this. Am I on the right track? Should I be looking at the job's CCSID as well? At this point, I'm not sure where to begin ....

Thanks very much in advance,
