FAQ: Is There a Difference in an ArcXML Map and Viewer Configuration File, Request, or Res

Answer

The first line of an ArcXML statement is required to include the XML version and encoding information:

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

UTF-8 and UTF8 can be used interchangeably. Author and ArcExplorer—Java Edition write out configuration files with encoding="UTF-8". Responses from the Spatial Server are returned with encoding="UTF8".
