sltc problem parsing numeric entities and UTF-8 characters

[Kelly Zeng <ze...@lhc.nlm.nih.gov>]

 I am using xsltc to transform xml to html.  I had &#253 in the input
xml
document and i see &#253 replaced by ? in the output html.  Also, if i
save a xml document in UTF-8,  <C3><BD> is also turned into ? in the
output html.  Is there anything i need to do to tell XSLTC to parse
numeric entities and non-ascii UTF-8 characters correctly?

THANK YOU!!!

:)Kelly

 I see. In that case, could you provide a sample xml/xsl? The UTF-8 encoding
of the Unicode char 253 should be a 2-byte sequence. Before loading the html
file in the browser, can you see this 2-byte sequence in the file? (try
using a low-level editor such as "vi")

Kelly:

 How does your html file look in a browser? XSLT Processors are not required
to escape non-ascii chars using a numeric sequence like ý. If you bring
up your html file in a browser (and set UTF-8 encoding if not set
automatically by the browser) you should see the char in question.
