In xml it's not wise to include the unicode chars by itself, besides

You have for each unicode character a proper replacement in xml that
is widely supported. So you don't run across heavy encoding problems
I included an old piece of VB6 code with an incomplete list (most
used codes only)
In beta 11 I included the following update.
- The XML output for the text field of the FTStyleRun is now
base64 encoded. This avoids problems with illegal characters being
introduced into the XML stream. The side affect of this is
programs using older versions of the FTC (1.0 to 1.1) will not be
able to decode the new format. Version 1.2 will read the new
format and the old format, so version 1.2 is backwards compatible.
This covers that problem by encoding binary in the xml stream.
