Probably you are specifying the output to be encoded in UTF-8 or 
something like that where the character is supported in the encoding. 
In that case the output should also contain the encoding indicated in 
the xml header (e.g. <? xml ... encoding="UTF-8"?>) There's nothing 
wrong with that, further XSLT processing should be able to handle it 
just fine. Some editors or viewers might not be reading the xml header, 
though, in which case they wouldn't necessarily realize the file is in 
UTF-8 and might display garbage. In that case, use a setting in the 
editor to reinterpret the file as UTF-8 and all should be well.

If you set output="html" in XSLT you should get the character entities 
though BTW.
