In the last transform, assuming that you are using <xsl:output method="html" which is the default method if the top level element is <html> then many XSLT systems will output this as ’ and your problems probably go away, but your system appears to be outputting as utf08 (I didn't check the three byte sequence you quoted was the correct utf8 for this character but chances are it is.) If the HTML document is in utf8 and says it is in utf8 (by having a charset specified in the HTML, something XSLT should add automatically) then modern browsers should display it correctly. If the automatic detection of encoding has failed you can push the browser by hand (view/encoding menu in IE for example). Alternatively you can output in some other encoding eg <xsl:output type="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> will output in latin-1 which means the system can not output this character as character data so will use ’ or ’ or ’ which mightalso keep your browser happy.
