Those are probably the correct 3 bytes for the character you wanted, in the utf-8 encoding. utf-8 uses 1 to 4 bytes to represent the 1.1 million characters in Unicode. If your editor or terminal or whatever viewing environment you're using to look at the source is showing you 3 characters for those 3 bytes, instead of the 1 character you wanted, then the problem is that your viewing environment is expecting a single-byte encoding, not utf-8. Fixing this is a matter of using a smarter editor, or if you're looking at it in a browser, making sure that your HTML contains (or is served with) the correct encoding declaration and that your browser is configured to honor this declaration. Typically, it should look like <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in the document's <head>. Your other option, to get the output you were hoping for, is to use <xsl:output method="html" encoding="us-ascii"/> to force your XSLT processor to write character references (since that character is not available in us-ascii). As Julian has been saying, how you write the character on the input side (source XML or stylesheet) is essentially an arbitrary lexical decision that is completely obscured once the document is parsed. You must understand that XSLT is not an exercise in serially pasting together strings that are copied from raw XML files. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
