The closest equivalent is:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('&', $number, ';')"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
which works because Unicode character values are a superset of ASCII.
If you want to avoid d-o-e, you can
(a) escape into an extension function
(b) use
<xsl:variable name="ascii"> !"#$%^....abcde...ABCDE....</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($ascii, $number - 31, 1)"/>
