When I output my DocBook XML to HTML, I have a bunch of weird
character entities cropping up in my HTML output. The capital letter
"A" with circumflex appears in the document after the following:
[....]
<xsl:output

encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes"
saxon:character-representation="native;decimal"/>
It's the encoding that's probably tripping you up. My hunch is that
you're viewing the file via some framework that thinks the file is
ISO-8859-X encoded.
If, for instance, you're viewing the file in a web browser, you might
try forcing the character coding scheme to UTF-8 to see if that makes
a difference.
If that's the case, then you'll need to figure how to tell your web
server to set the correct Content-Type header, e.g.,
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
In Apache, you can do so with the AddDefaultCharset directive or, in
many configurations, by giving your files a .utf8 suffix. I can't
speak for other web servers.
