The problem is probably with your web server configuration. See the section
"Odd characters in HTML output" here:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html
If you're using Apache, you can either edit httpd.conf to change the config for
AddDefaultCharSet or try add the following line to a file named .htaccess
(create it if necessary) place from which you serve up your content (e.g.
~username/public_html):
AddDefaultCharSet UTF-8

Subject: [docbook-apps] nbsp symbols in XHTML output
I am writing documentation using object oriented tags for lists of
classes and methods. In the XHTML output in Internet Explorer, all of the
areas where there are or   in the XSLT appear as the following
symbol, Â . This does not happen in Firefox. Is this a common problem? Is
there an easy solution to remove the symbols? I am using DocBook 5.0, Saxon,
XEP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Lillian
