UTF-8 is just a way of encoding all of the UniCode characters in a form that is closely backward compatible with 7-bit ASCII (note, not 8-bit ASCII). Hence, we can use ASCII tools to write our build.xml files, our xslt programs and xml documents without problem. So, UTF-8 DOES include the character u00F8 - but the encoding of it is not to write the character literally in the same way you do currently. If I recall correctly, you should be able to write \u00F8 or something like that.
