This is actually the correct encoding of 'é' in UTF-8. See that
encoding="UTF-8" attribute in the XML declaration? That means the
document is in UTF-8 even though your application internally is
using ISO8859-1. Generally, the input XML encoding, application
encoding, and output XML encoding can all be different.

If you want your XML to also be in ISO8859-1 (by default it is
UTF-8), you will need to specify this encoding when calling one
of the serialization functions, for example:

root (std::cout, obj_model, map, "ISO8859-1");
