Wow. Seems replacing my existing XML declaration with <?xml version='1.0'
encoding="UTF-8"?> fixed the little problem!
Nice one cutlass.
Thanks to everyone else as well.
Daniel.

no no; © means nothing to the browser natively. if u are using
entities; your © entity should be properly defined in a dtd or
doctype tag.
using © should give u the correct copyright symbol
first off does the following listing work in your browser
<html>
<body>
©
</body>
</html>
it should, if it doesn't something wrong with your browser ( maybe char
encoding ).
some steps to do
a) to make sure your output is html use the <xsl:output method="html"/>
b) make sure your encoding attribute of xml and xsl is correct, set to
utf-8 or iso-8859-1
c) your can define doctype-public and doctype-system in xsl:output tag
d) goto faq http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/N3353.html
