You are looking for the wrong solution.
FOP, like any other XML application uses an XML parser as the first
thing that processes its input. An XML parser will always replace a
character reference &#x2022; by teh character it references, so FOP will
see the same thing whetehr teh FO file has a character reference or
character data for this character. If it doesn't have access to a font
with this character it may well print some kind of missing glyph mark,
but It'll do the same however the character was input.
Unless something is very wrong with the world:-)
