I'm not sure that HTML allows just any control character either.
Anyway, why are you interested in putting invisible control characters
into an HTML page?

You cannot put these non-xml characters into an xml file, even if you
plan to get a text-mode output from the xslt stylesheet, because xml
does not allow them.

You could write an object element into the html file, with its source
attribute pointing to a text file that does contain the characters.
Mozilla would try to display it (if you specified the text/plain mime
type), but IIRC IE will not.
