Okay, good to know. Thanks for taking a look.
Here is some additional context. It occurs when using Elfeed's
~elfeed-export-opml~ on my list of RSS feeds. It seems the library
relies on ~xml-escape-string~ to parse each element. It's worth
noting that this happens on several feeds, not just the feed for
leancrew.com listed below.
I can file a bug with the package maintainers but I wasn't sure if
the XML parser was a better place to start. Here is the specific
backtrace, if it's useful:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (xml-invalid-character 4194274 11)
signal(xml-invalid-character (4194274 11))
xml-escape-string("And now it\342\200\231s all this")
xml-debug-print-internal((outline ((xmlUrl
. "https://leancrew.com/all-this/feed/") (title . "And now
it\342\200\231s all this"))) " ")
