This may be because you specified "xml" as the XSL output method but  
serve the result as text/html. If you specify "html" as the output  
method the transformer should include a content type with a charset  
parameter in an http-equiv instruction in the generated HTML.

Ensure that you are serving the result correctly, with a charset  
parameter the same as the charset you serialised the XSL result to.  
So if you serialised to UTF-8 and you are serving as text/html you  
should include the header

   Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.4.1  
for why you need to do this. The default for HTTP, without a charset  
parameter, is ISO-8859-1, but this encoding does not contain the  
trademark symbol and will therefore not work for you.
