When you say it's &Atilde;&frac14;, do you mean that when you open up
the result you actually see those entity references, or do you see the
actual characters ü?

I suspect it's the latter, in which case make sure that the text
editor (or whatever) that you're using to look at the result of the
transformation is reading in that result as UTF-8 rather than as
ISO-8859-1.

If the former, then something really weird's going on -- it looks as
though the result is being serialised as UTF-8, then read as
ISO-8859-1 and then serialised again using HTML entity references.
Perhaps knowing that's what's going on will help you track down the
bug...

Cheers,

Jeni
