No, in ASCII that is Control-Z aka SUB (SUBSTITUTE in Unicode).

End of file is Control-D aka EOT (END OF TEXT) in Unicode.

Neither of those characters is allowed in XML documents and thus is not
allowed in XSLT stylesheets.  Whether they occur in the document/
stylesheet's encoding or you represent them via character references
(&#x1A; and &#x03;), they are not allowed:

Is there a way in XSLT to output an external unparsed entity (which
would contain the disallowed character)?
