AFAICT, either of them should work. However, I am suspicious of the char(38). That looks like it is part of a program instead an XML document (but maybe you are just showing the decimal equivalent). If you are trying to encode the value in Java, use the hex value "\u0026" or just the character "&" in your string. BTW, there is also an & entity for this purpose. See http://xml.apache.org/fop/fo.html#xml-entity-chars for more details. Another possibility is that you are getting the character encoded in your semantic XML document correctly, but that it is being transformed incorrectly when you convert to XSL-FO. Check the XSL-FO document to see whether the problem occurs before or after that point: http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html#check-input If it occurs before that point, then you really have an XSLT question. Otherwise, please make sure you are running the latest version of FOP, then post back to this list with a 2-3 line snippet showing the context (more if needed).
