Numbers above 128 !

I am using lotus xsl 0_17_2 and xml4j Parser for the following

Some of my attributes, text nodes contain characters above
ASCII 128. I want these to come in result tree as it is. But I
find that these characters are being converted as per HTML 4

For e.g character 246 becomes ˜

How do I get the characters as it is. I need this because we use some
propreitary font which display diacritic using the special character.

How do I turn off this entity conversion.

Thanks
