Question

Answer 1

Yes - one or t'other end of the service is not coded correctly.

It's impossible without seeing the full XML for both ends and the WSDL to determine which - but most likely, the service requires a UTF-8 encoded content and your client is not checking what it's actually sending - in which case base64 encode the file and tell the remote system that's how its encoded.
