You can read the XML spec for some hints, or check some other
publishing systems, like DocBook.

4. Use a proper encoding declaration which matches the actual
encoding of the file. For example, most platforms setup for
a german language environment use ISO-8859-1, and usually
editors use this as the default encoding. Placing
<?xml version="1.0" encodign="ISO-8859-1"?>
at the beginning of each XML file (XSLT is XML too) allows you
to use native encoded umlauts.
5. Use numerical character references, for example ” for �.
You can place any unicode character in any XML file which has
an encoding which is a superset of ASCII.
The Unicode consortium has convenient tables for lookin up
characters online at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html
6. Get a DTD with entity definitions for some characters, like
a stripped down DocBook, or the HTML definitions (from
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html)
and use the aliases defined there, for example ö for �.
