Do you mean in the file generated by the XSL transformation?
The most likely cause is that you set the output encoding
to something which cant represent the delta sign character
natively.
Apart from this, the serializer is allowed to use character
references at will, some use character references for every
character outside the ISO-8859 or even the ASCII character
sets. It doesn't matter.

If you got Δ in the output of the FO processor, something
is really screwed up, I can't tell what from your snippets.
