that isn't a garbled mess that _is_ the utf-8 encoding of those
characters. If you don't want utf-8 ask for something else, for example
latin1 (iso-8859-1)

Most XSLT systems only use numeric character refernces for characters
that are not in the requested output encoding. utf-8 includes the whole
of unicode so if you ask for utf-8 encoding characterfrefs need never be
needed.
