You are getting 2 bytes, which is the correct representation of that character
in UTF-8, versus 1 byte, which is what your output document viewing
environment (UTF-8 unaware text editor, terminal window, browser with wrong
encoding set, whatever) is expecting.

If you really don't want UTF-8 output, specify a different encoding in your
xsl:output:

  <xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

Of course this will limit you to the XML-supported subset of the 256
characters allowed by iso-8859-1, whereas utf-8 gives you the XML-supported
subset of some 1.1 million characters.
