In XML (respectively XSL as an XML application) you can use a numeric 
character reference with the Unicode codepoint e.g.
   &#233;
But of course using character references is only necessary for those 
characters which can not be directly encoded in the character set your 
XML document uses.

That looks more like some URL-encoding to me.
