How to generate real UTF-8 XML with grails without the escape characters?

I have been wondering why when I set the encoding to UTF-8 and rendering the XML it replace the extended characters by escape characters (or character reference) like ’ instead of '?

I'm using the Render method

render(contentType:"text/xml", encoding:"UTF-8") {...}

with a proper header

render(contentType:"text/xml", encoding:"UTF-8", text:"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n") 

Any idea if there is a way to write it properly?

Thanks.
