By default the character data in the object model is encoded in UTF-8.
That is, when an XML file is parsed into the object model, all the text 
data is converted to UTF-8. Similarly, when the object model is serialized
to XML, the text data is expected to be in UTF-8. So the 'è' letter has to
be represented as a two-byte pair:

CharsetTest ct("syst\xC3\xA8me");

Alternatively, you cat upgrade to XSD 3.3.0.b1 (see the download page[1],
the final release should be out mid-March) which not provides the 
--char-encoding option. If you specify:

--char-encoding iso8859-1

Then your code should work without any modifications.
