Hi,
You are using the correct syntax to embed Unicode characters. However,
XML (not XSLT) only allows certain "control" characters. Specifically,
the characters TAB, LF, and CR (	, 
, 
) The character
you mention ("backspace") is not one of the allowed control characters,
and neither is the reference you give ("").
Regards,
Dan.

Subject: [xsl] Unicode Reference in XSLT
Dear List-Members,
I encountered problems when trying to reference unicode-characters in my
XSLT-script.
I try to find out whether there is a backspace or cartridge return character
in the content of a certain input node. So, I was trying to test if that
string contains a "& # 8 ;"-character (I use whitespace between the separate
letters, so they are not filtered).
The problem following is a syntactical one. XSLT does not accept this
reference. Therefore, the question is: How can I reference
Unicode-characters in a string-test in an XSLT-script?
Greets and thanks in advance,
Jan Mendling
