I get the impression that you have copied a partial solution to your problem because only one step is missing, yet the result evidence you present seems not to match what the code you have would produce. I'll just focus my answer on your code and not on your evidence.

Okay, the above does *not* put "[#xUUUU]" into the result tree as you contend.

It puts "UUUU;" into the result tree.

I gather you want "&UUUU;" in the serialized version of the result tree.

Using  is a typical approach to using output character maps in serialization to get file results that are not possible using default serialization.

I've done it earlier but seems to be completely lost today (may be tired).

It looks to me like what you probably did was:

<xsl:output use-character-maps="escape-my-numeric-character-reference"/>

  <xsl:character-map name="escape-my-numeric-character-reference">
    <xsl:output-character character="&#xe000;" string="&amp;"/>
  </xsl:character-map>

I hope this helps.
