Something rather basic.  These characters are not valid in an XML
document:

Character Range 
===============

[2]  Char ::=  #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] |
[#x10000-#x10FFFF] 
/*  any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, and
FFFF. */ 
 
Therefore you can't expect XSLT processors to handle them.
