html characters in xml

I've got an xml-file that goes thru Cocoon standard xml generator to 
serialize into html (so nothing special). But using html characters as 
"&nbsp;", "&euro;" doesn't work. Anybody that has a link to the list of 
codes that can be used in this context?

&#160; is what you need for &nbsp;

in general I always check the unicode.org site for special chars.
(euro has unicode point U+20AC, leading to the hex notation of the 
entity &#x20AC;)

Just put your character in the ascii field and use the encoded unicode 
value. For example the euro sign becomes &#8364;

The &nbsp; is a bit trickier, have you tried just doing &amp;nbsp; ? The 
"&" is an entity reference in xml.
