It is not dom4j that changes the character-references, into characters, it is the underlying XML parser. The dom4j code actually never sees any of these character references.
There is no way (that isn't a hack) to change this. However you can get dom4j to substitute characters into character-references when you write the XML by using the following method: XMLWriter.setMaximumAllowedCharacter() You should not really have to use this functionality, unless you use an encoding which does not support the specific character.
