I am converting an element with xml:space preserve to an HTML

A spurious capital A followed by a diacritic means that your content is
in UTF-8, but it's being displayed by software that doesn't realise it
is in UTF-8 (it probably thinks it is in Latin-1). If the display
software is a web browser, this means there's something wrong with the
magic incantations in the HTML Content-Type, the HTTP headers, the web
server configuration files, or some combination of the above.
