You need php module named mbstring loaded to parse multibyte characters in php.
If your script is using a multibyte character set (e.g. UTF8) internally, i
understand that simple ord() and char() functions will suffice to convert to a
numeric value and vice versa.

A partial list of numeric character references which should also work in XML is
here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTML_decimal_character_references

Please note that these are listed in decimal not hex, so leave out the 'x' part
