Thanks to all who answered. It was a problem with  /XSL and differences between ISO8859-1 and UTF-8.

This character must be encoded upon output in a document. If your document is encoded as ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII, the character will manifest as the single byte A0 (in hex, or 160 in decimal). If your document is encoded with UTF-8, it will be the pair of bytes C2 C0.
