If you stay with US-ASCII e.g.

Dim XmlDocument
Set XmlDocument = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
XmlDocument.appendChild _
   XmlDocument.createProcessingInstruction(_
     "xml", "version=""1.0"" encoding=""US-ASCII""")
XmlDocument.appendChild xmlDocument.createElement("text")
XmlDocument.documentElement.appendChild(_
   XmlDocument.createTextNode(_
     "Je suis fatigué."))

XmlDocument.save "test2006030201Saved.xml"

then MSXML saves as a numeric character reference

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<text>Je suis fatigu&#233;.</text>

but as you can see it chooses & # 2 3 3 ;, the decimal value, while you 
want the hex value it seems. I don't think there is any way to achieve 
what you want with direct calls to MSXML APIs, you would need to write 
your own serializer then to make sure those characters you want as 
hexadecimal numeric chacracter references are serialzied that way.
