Generating Java classes from XSD with enumeration containing non-ascii values

Using Java 17 and Gradle-plugin com.github.bjornvester.xjc' version '1.8.2

I want to generate java classes from an XSD schema. The java classes is to be used for values read from database. The values in DB can contain the non-ascii characters. Later the java object should be marshaled to a XML string, that validates.

And therefore the XSD contains non-ascii characters in enumerations (several places). Example:

<xsd:complexTypename="NyType">
   <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:elementname="number"type="xsd:integer"/>
      <xsd:elementname="myEnumType"type="MyEnumType"/>
   </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleTypename="MyEnumType">
   <xsd:restrictionbase="xsd:string">
      <xsd:enumerationvalue="ÄNt"/>
      <xsd:enumerationvalue="Al-sör"/>
      <xsd:enumerationvalue="Sår"/>
   </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

This does not work. I get errors like:

error: unmappable character (0xF6) for encoding UTF-8

and

error: illegal character: '\ufffd'

The generated Java enum has

@XmlEnumValue("\u00c4Nt")
Ä_NT("\u00c4Nt"),
@XmlEnumValue("AL-s\u00f6r")
AL_SÖR("AL-s\u00f6r"),

I dont know how to solve this in a good way.

If I change all åäöÖÅÄ to aAoO in the XSD it works fine. But then the values from DB will not match then enum.

I have tried in the xjc bindingfile to change the enum by adding (example)

<jaxb:bindings node="//xsd:simpleType[@name='MyEnumType']/xsd:restriction/xsd:enumeration[@value='ÄNt']">
         <jaxb:typesafeEnumMember  name="ANT"/>
</jaxb:bindings>

With this the enum changes to

   @XmlEnumValue("\u00c4Nt")
   ANT("\u00c4Nt");

and the second error disapears, "unmappable character error" remains... The error points to a line in the generated javadoc-comment.

How do I replace the value in the enum as well? Or is it better to get xjc to not generate the enum values at all? Is so how to I configure that in the xjc bindingfile? Doing it like this doesn seem right..

<jaxb:bindings node="//xsd:simpleType[@name='MyEnumType']/xsd:restriction/xsd:enumeration[@value='ÄNt']">
         <jaxb:typesafeEnumMember  name=""/>
   </jaxb:bindings>

If I get the xjc jaxb generation to pass, will it be possible to map to the correct values (as in DB) when generating XML from the java obejcts?
