Sounds like you got UTF-8 output but your browsers think it's iso-8859-1.

Either add
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
to the XHTML document, so the browser will interpret the bytes properly,
or change the encoding of the output:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="us-ascii"/>
will force numeric character references for all the non-ASCII characters.
