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. > I think it is while reading the input I am messing up.

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. -- Jonathan Blake
