the code that use for load xml file with specific encoding

testParseXml1.cs

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

namespace testParseXml1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

            Parse();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static void Parse()
        {
            var doc = new XmlDocument();
            string xmlText = File.ReadAllText("kanjidic2.xml", Encoding.Default);

            doc.LoadXml(xmlText);
        }
    }
}

Try putting try/catch around the doc.LoadXml() method and checking the exception.
