No, it's not wrong.
Presumably the character is in a URI-valued attribute and you are using
the HTML output method. The correct escaping method for such attributes
is to encode the character as a sequence of UTF-8 octets, and then
escape each octet as two hex digits in the form %HH.

Subject: [xsl] escaping an accented character
The character à ('a' with a grave accent) appears in a node
in my XML. When
I use an XSLT to display the node in an href for link in an
html page, the
character gets escaped as %C3%A0, which is completely wrong
(it should be
escaped as %E0). Similar problems occur with all accented characters.
Both the XSL and the XML file have encoding="UTF-8" (unicode,
I believe).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
