I suggest you use UTF-8, and specify appropriate charset in

Thank you very much for your reply. If you don't mind, could I ask
for a little clarification? I assume the Content-Type header would be
"Content-Type: text/xml; encoding=utf-8\r\n"

charset=, not encoding=

but I'm not sure how I
would use that encoding in my call to IWebBrowser2::Navigate. What do
I need to do differently to initialize the "VARIANT *PostData"
parameter?

Nothing. It's still an array of bytes. Presumably, you have a Unicode
string you want to post. Convert it to UTF-8 with
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8), then pack the resulting bytes into a
safearray.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
