There is no way to put these characters in an XML document.  You will
have to choose some way of encoding them yourself.  Possibilities
include using an element, eg <char code="30"/>, or using characters
from the Unicode private-use range.  Either way you will have to
pre- and post-process the data.

(I must say I think this is a deficiency of XML that could be addressed
in some future revision.)
