I have Finnish characters in my text (for example ä, ö and å) that are unsafe in XML, is there any library/framework for this purpose?

XML supports Unicode, so the only thing you really need to escape are the five basic XML entities (gt, lt, quot, amp, apos). If you use StringEscapeUtils.escapeXML, it will turn all your ä, ö and å into ugly \uabcd stuff.
