I'm jumping into the middle of this without full knowledge of all the
background, so I apologize if this isn't relevant. The terminal and vi
often share support for the same character set. Opening in VI may make no
difference from viewing it on the terminal.

Perhaps the two machines support different characters. This is just a
hunch, but perhaps the programs that you're using to read the output are
the point of failure, not your XSL process. Perhaps try using a hex editor
that will show beyond doubt what is behind the '?'.

HTH.
