On the Windows platform this works fine, but on the Linux platform, it
generates the sequence EF BF BD which I think represent the
fact that it
couldn't recognize the pound sign.
No, this looks to me like a byte-order-mark encoded in UTF-8.
There's a lot of confusion about whether BOMs at the start of a UTF-8 file
are allowed or not, but the sad reality is that some system produce them,
others don't, some recognize them, others don't.
XSLT 2.0 gives you control in xsl:output as to whether to output a BOM or
not.
