If you put in the result-ns attribute correctly, you will get í.
For example,
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
result-ns=""
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>í</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
outputs:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>í</html>
