You may also consult HTML 4.0 spec, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 .
Chapter 24 defines entities for most common characters and lists their UCS-2 
codes. I am used to insert these into my XML documents as external parametric 
entities. But be careful: MSXML chokes on external entities in DTD, so you 
won't be able to browse your XML source code with IE5 any more, or parse 
it with Microsoft tools.

(Another topic is whether FOP can handle any of these symbols; this should 
be asked to FOP-dev list).
