You can't-the result tree doesn't contain XML character references, just text 
nodes. You can ask XSLT engine to serialize the result tree using an encoding 
that cannot represent the character LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA and the 
character will be output as a character reference; ASCII in this case, if your 
engine support it.
