dagger font
You can also include a font that contains the character you are looking to
display. FOP has facilities to embed fonts that are not part of the default
distribution. Make sure the license for the font does not restrict embedding
and take a look at http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html to see how to do it.

For HTML output, use encoding UTF-8; for PDF you will need to set the
font-family of the container to the name of the font you are embedding
(e.g., <fo:block font-family="foo">&#x2020;</fo:block>) and use the numeric
character reference for it; see the FOP docs about embedding fonts.  

Also, there is a list of Acrobat supported glyphs at
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/TestSuite/contrib/FOP/fonts.pdf.

I am using FOP 0.20.3 
I do see the dagger symbol (†) in the xml file (using nodepad).  Once I
apply the syle sheet † becomes ?, and in PDF † is #.  I realize that † is
not present in iso-8859-1.  There are other  characters I am using are in
iso-8859-1(such as  ± ). 

How can I make this happen? 

Thanks

the character '†'.  In the pdf file I have generated using xslt/fo displays
'†' as '#'.  In my xml file that has been generated by java application
shows '†'  as '?'.

Probably font your fo processor uses to output that chracter doesn't 
have such glyph. Which fo processor are you using and which font?
