displaying webdings in xml

[r0n1n]

Hi all, i am new to xml and i am facing a problem while displaying a particular symbol from the Webdings font family, the character is the moon(character code 0xE0). How do i display the moon in the xml file?
Right now i am trying this code:

<xsl:attribute name="Style">
Font-family: "Webdings"
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:variable name="moon" select="'0xE0'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$moon"></xsl:value-of>

But it is displaying the Webding characters for "0","x","E" and "0" separately.

So how do i display the moon? Or any character code for that matter. help appreciated.
Thanks

'0xE0'

isn't a valid XML character reference. The proper representation is

&#xE0;

So try this for your variable declaration:

<xsl:variable name="moon" select="&#xE0;"/>

And you should add extra (single-)quotes:
<xsl:variable name="moon" select="'&#xE0;'"/>
