That's the most surprising part of your mail. Which browserare you using?
wcirc  is in ISO latin2 and is as you say, character hex 175, but that
entity isn't defined in any version of html or xhtml as far as i can
see.

I would guess that you are getting utf8 output and looking at the file
in a system configured for latin 1 or latin2. If you specify your output
to be eg iso-8859-1 using xsl:output or (better) configure your browser
to correctly recognise the encoding used, the characetr will display
correctly.
