The xml spec (1.0, 3rd ed.) says:
4.1 Character and Entity References
[Definition: A character reference refers to a specific character in the
ISO/IEC 10646 character set, for example one not directly accessible from
available input devices.]

Not being an expert, I think this means that character references are
independent of the document's encoding, and may be used to include
characters that don't exist in that encoding.
