In this case I'd try to find out when the character was lost. What happens
if you access the same page with a test tool on a desktop machine, such as
"wget"?

The likely explanation is that your XSLT transformation isn't sent properly.
For instance, because the

- HTTP content-type header has the wrong encoding
- the HTML meta tag has the wrong encoding
- the transformation result is written to a byte stream without taking care
of Unicode issue
