By default the output from xsl:message in Saxon goes to System.err, and the
handling of special characters therefore depends partly on the Java IO
library and partly on the operating system (perhaps even on which command
shell you are using within the operating system). I've generally found that
a number of shells are unable to display even iso-8859-1 correctly, which is
why I reverted to use of ASCII characters only in Saxon error messages. A
bit disappointing in this day and age.
It's easy enough to tell Saxon to send the message somewhere else where it
won't be mangled, but the question is, where do you actually want it?

Subject: [xsl] using xsl:message with UTF-8 characters
Using XSLT 2.0 with Saxon 8.9.0.3J I would like to use
xsl:message much more, but I don't know how to get
UTF-8 chars displayed correctly. Here is what I get when I
invoke test.xsl with saxon from the command line:
java net.sf.saxon.Transform dummy.xml test.xsl
a or ?that's the question <---- I replaced a square by a true ?
<doc>a or ä, that's the question</doc>>Exit code: 0
The square stands for x'E4 AC A0' (which would triggers
base64 encoding in gmail by the way) and the text has not
only lost the "ä"
(x'C3 A4') but also the next 2 bytes ", " (x'C2 20').
Any idea how to get xsl:message working ?

test.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:template
match="/"> <doc>
<xsl:message select="'a or ä, that''s the question'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="'a or ä, that''s the question'"/>
</doc> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
