The message .xml file is an XML document which is made up of a number of distinct elements combined with the core message elements; see The Format of Message Files.
As a standard XML document, the encoding attributed indicates that the file is encoded in UTF-8. It should be noted that this encoding will be respected and maintained by an XML aware editor. However, other editors (such as TextPad) do not maintain this encoding by default. A file which contains UTF-8 characters may have to be specifically saved as UTF-8 with these editors.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
