The current definition of what a character is and what characters are
allowed in an XML (XML, XSLT, XHTML, etc) document can be found at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814.html#charsets

Specifically the characters come from the Universal Character Set defined
by ISO/IEC 10646. Since the I in ISO stands for Ivory Tower, you can't
actually look at the ISO/IEC 10646 standard without paying about US $400
for the hard copy and its relevant amendments. Lucky for us, though, the
Unicode Standard parallels ISO/IEC 10646, and it is available at a more
affordable price -- see

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201616335/o/qid%3D967491289/

...plus its character charts for the U-00000000 through U-0000FFFD range
are available online for free, at http://charts.unicode.org/ (PDF) and
http://charts.unicode.org/Web.html (HTML).
