I have decided to try a character map. When I used the sheet below, however, it converts to :

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

<xsl:output use-character-maps="cm1"/>

<xsl:character-map name="cm1"> <xsl:output-character character="˘" string="&#774;"/> <xsl:output-character character="¯" string="&#772;"/>  </xsl:character-map>

<xsl:template match="br"/>

        <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
            <xsl:copy>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
            </xsl:copy>
        </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I really don't need the elements. That is the reason for the template rule removing them. But is the switch from to caused by the output line?

I'm not sure it will, because the input is using non-combining diacritical marks. I think the answer is translate():

translate($in, '˘...', '̆...'
