Sorry, I will explain more clearly.

If your database connection uses UTF-8 encoding to return data
everything is ok. If you get responses in eg. latin1 encoding, use the
iconv extension (iconv() function) to convert encodings, eg.:
$latin1_data = 'some string';
$utf8_data = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $latin1_data);
Then, you feed UTF-8 data to XMLWriter.

It just occured to me that you can ensure that the data you get from
MySQL server is always in UTF-8. Instead of converting strings by
iconv, just change connection parameters and restore them after you
are done with schema export. I believe all MySQL installations should
have at least utf8_general_ci and utf8_bin collations available.
