Re: Unicode character transformation through XSLT

[Kenneth Whistler]

Well, I can't diagnose exactly what is going wrong, but

"Unicode character (\uFFE2\uFF80\uFF93)"

is a sequence of a full-width not sign, followed by a
half-width katakana ta and a half-width katakana mo.

What you are actually looking for is the UTF-8 sequence:

0xE2 0x80 0x93

which is the UTF-8 equivalent of U+2013 EN DASH. (and of
<!ENTITY ndash "&#8211;">)

It appears that something in the way you (or the code you
are using) is getting Unicode characters from the
resource bundle is incorrectly converting 0xE2 --> 0xFFE2,
and so on.
