No, this is not possible when saving in the xml standard.
The valid character set in the parsed XML entity is a tab, carriage return, line feed, and valid Unicode characters. There are various bytes that go beyond this allowable range, most notably 0x0, but also 0x1 - 0x8, 0xB - 0xC and 0xE - 0x1F (i.e. most of the values ββthat are classic ASCII control characters).
