The character= attribute must contain the Unicode
character, not the UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode
character.  The attribute name is specifically
asking for the character itself, not the sequence
of bytes that might make it up.

 <xsl:output-character character="&#x03BC;" string="&amp;#x03BC"/>

Even easy to visually validate!

I hope this helps.
