RE: XSLT 2.0 Matching characters above 255

You could use 

<xsl:for-each select="string-to-codepoints(.)"
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test=". > 255">
      <span><xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/></span>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
