Don't use clean(). It strips accented letters (à, é, ó) along with the invalid characters. The document only fails to save because of invalid XML control characters in the source text, so remove just those with regexreplaceall("[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F]", yourText, "") and keep the template UTF-8 encoded. Few Samples
a!localVariables( local!samples: { "Gerente, Revisión de Crédito", "Café à la française", "Bad" & char(8) & "control" & char(11) & "chars", "Mix: José" & char(8) & " García ó" }, a!forEach( items: local!samples, expression: { withClean: clean(fv!item), withRegex: regexreplaceall("[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F]", fv!item, "") } ) )
