You can't safely send zero bytes over XML even with UTF-8 encoding. Not in practice:

  echo '<zero>&#0;</zero>' | xmllint -
  -:1: parser error : xmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value 0
  <zero>&#0;</zero>
            ^

  printf '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><zero>\0</zero>' | xmllint -
  -:1: parser error : Premature end of data in tag zero line 1
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><zero>
                                            ^
And not in theory: https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-well-form...

  Character Range

  [2]    Char    ::=    [#x1-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] /* any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, and FFFF. */
  [2a]    RestrictedChar    ::=    [#x1-#x8] | [#xB-#xC] | [#xE-#x1F] | [#x7F-#x84] | [#x86-#x9F]

I explained how to do it, and yet you didn't follow instructions, have done something irrelevant, and are now complaining that it doesn't work... well sucks being you, I guess.
