[xsl] encoding and XSL Transformation

[Earl Bingham <earl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having some trouble using the Xalan 2 Java parser for parsing some XML 
files I have that include non-ASCII characters. In which I have characters 
like right-tik ?  left-tik long dash, etc.  When I use Xalan UTF-8 
encoding, it will make these characters into garbeled mess, 
like  Â$(A  for right tick ,etc.
When I use james clark's xt parser. It will transform these characters 
nicely. Converting them to their hex representation ’

The SAX2SAX.java example provided with Xalan doesn't do too much help 
either. In which it seems like it will always output a supposed 'UTF-8' 
format even though I change the <xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1'/> etc.

Does anyone know how to get the Xalan parser to properly transform these 
characters to their proper hex value?

Thanks,

Earl Bingham
