XslTransform - Unicode question

[Pasan]

Hello everyone. I am trying to generate a document using a XML document and
a XSLT stylesheet. There are unicode elements in the XSL style-sheet
(Japanese) as seen below:

<xsl:template match="delegate">
<xsl:call-template name="type">
<xsl:with-param
name="type">âfâèâQü[âg</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

Is there a way of doing the transformation correctly in the presence of the
Unicode data?. ie. how do I tell the <XslTransform instance>.Transform(...)
method which elements are plain ASCII and which are unicode?. If not, is
there a different way of accomplishing this task?..

Thanks guys. Any help would be appreciated as to how I can solve this
problem!..

Everything in XML is unicode. Usually you have to do nothing.
When transforming though make sure output encoding declared in your
stylesheet (xsl:output encoding="...") is appropriate one.
