    Dear all,
    My sitemaps generated by GsiteCrawler have URLs that contain non-UTF-8 strings with speacial character like "??%#". Please advise me how to convert them to the format that can be accepted by Google ?

    Thank you in advance.

    Better create a fresh sitemap.xml using the free tool available at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com and submit to google. I hope your problem will be solved!
