Thank you for your very detailed answer.
I have now found the problem.
My entries looked like this:
<xsl:output-character character="ä" string="ä"/>
When I changed them to this:
<xsl:output-character character="ä" string="&#228;"/>
it worked.
You are right I am writing CDATA Sections, and I'm using
disable-output-escaping but the text that is outputted there doesn't contain
any chars outside my chosen encoding.
Now since you said Saxon should replace the chars even without a character-map
I ran the transformation without the map and it works as well...now I'm
confused.

Betreff: Re: [xsl] output encoding character map
As Chris Maden says, ä is not x201e. I think you can assume that x201e
is the character at fault, and that ä is an incorrect attempt to render
it (if it's console output, then in my experience console output does
some strange things with non-ASCII characters, though it no doubt
depends on various configuration settings, not to mention your choice of
operating system).
You shouldn't need a character map to translate characters that aren't
present in the chosen encoding to their numeric &-escaped form; Saxon
should do this automatically for characters in text or attribute nodes.
If the character is outside a text or attribute node (for example in an
element name or in a comment), then character maps won't help you
anyway, because they aren't used in those contexts.
Looking at the Saxon code, this error message is produced only when
output escaping is disabled. This could be because you explicitly set
disable-output-escaping in your source, or because Saxon has disabled
output escaping internally, which it does for example when writing a
CDATA section.
The spec says this:
Character mapping is not applied to characters for which output escaping
has been disabled.
Could it be the case that your stylesheet uses disable-output-escaping
as well as character maps?
The spec also says this:
If output escaping is disabled for a character that is not representable
in the encoding that the processor is using for output, the request to
disable output escaping is ignored in respect of that character.
but I'm not sure I can find any code in Saxon that implements that rule.
And it's not clear whether ignoring the request to disable output
escaping means that the character map should then kick in under the
previously-cited rule...

Hi,
I'm using xslt 2.0 and saxon 9.
While transforming I get the following error:
SERE0008: Character ä (x201e) is not available in the chosen encoding
That would not be too surprising to me if I wasn't already using a character
map that is supposed to translate that char into a hex representation:
<xsl:output-character character="ä" string="&#228;"/>
The character map seems to work for all the other chars.
Any ideas ?
