XML 1.0 Second Edition removed "graphic" (which I always found confusing but which is good ISO-speak). > or, more clearly: > > Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | > [#x10000-#x10FFFF] > /* any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, > and FFFF. */ > > > That means "-", "#12235" , etc are characters, while "'1'" is not. ⿋ is a character reference. '#12235' is how you talk about a character's code point, although the hexadecimal representation is usually preferable. In XSL terms, "'1'" is a one-character string literal, but while you could claim that it is one character, there's no XSL conversion from a string to a character, so <fo:character character="'1'"/> should fail.
