Turns out I wasn't encoding the actual content of my XML output as UTF-16,
but because Windows Cp1252 (WinLatin1) charset resolves a paticular UTF-8
char to the euro symbol, it fooled me into thinking I was encoding the
output simply by setting the output format on the OutputFormat class. This
is because when I opened the file in Windows using XMLSpy, it displayed the
euro symbol correctly.
The complete and correct solution is:
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(new
FileOutputStream(new File(filename)), "UTF-16");
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(out, new OutputFormat(" ", true,
"UTF-16"));
Thanks!

Whats you XML document look like? Its probably to do with the encoding of
the XML document. Do you include an encoding <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="..."?> section?
