I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "illegal characters"; if you mean
control characters, you'll need to come up with a representation that
doesn't use entities.
On the other hand, if you have a custom list of characters you want
converted to entities or back again, my Ents project may be a helpful
foundation:

I was thinking in terms of documents, not strings, but the logic in
EntsRefsFilter shouldn't be that hard to reapply from a Reader to a
String.
I'll be revising and expanding Ents heavily this summer, so let me know
about changes or improvements you'd like to see.
