I would like to give XeLaTeX a try. I've been using pdflatex to process the following:

I have been using this message as a reference Frequently loaded packages: Differences between pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX. Ideally I'm looking for methods to preserve UTF-8 after the document has been processed (see my previous thread: Error message when using biber) . Could anyone give me a skeleton that I could use to fully implement the xelatex packages described in the first link?
Also, I've been getting a lot of "—¿" in my finished pdf. Any idea what could be the culprit?
