Write a throwaway XSLT 2 stylesheet that does
<chars>
<xsl:for-each select="20 to 65535">
<xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>>
Paste the result into your XSLT 1 stylesheet inside an xsl:variable
name="chars".
Then in your XSLT 1 stylesheet do
substring($chars, @character - 20, 1)

This looks like the neatest solution available to me but I am having a
bit of trouble getting it working. I have created the throw away XSLT
stylesheet with the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; >
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="32 to 65535">
<xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then I have tried to process this with Saxon8 and get the following
error:
Saxon 8.8J from Saxonica

Stylesheet compilation time: 328 milliseconds

Have I misunderstood what you meant?
Thanks,
Rob
