This is because by default XSD assumes that the object model text is
encoded in UTF-8. 'ét' in Sociétés is not a valid UTF-8 character
sequence.

The easiest way to resolve this is probably to switch to the ISO8859-1
(aka Latin1) encoding using the --char-encoding XSD compiler option:

--char-encoding iso8859-1

See the XSD compiler command line manual (man pages) for details:
