RE: isolated high surrogate

I’ve isolated the problem to a template definition that is trying to replace apace characters with non-breaking spaces. Evidently it clobbers some surrogate pairs. FWIW: here’s the offending line(s):

  <xsl:template name="zero_width_space_1">
    <xsl:param name="data"/>
    <xsl:param name="counter" select="0"/>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$counter &lt; string-length($data)+1">
        <xsl:value-of select='concat(substring($data,$counter,1),"&#8203;")'/>
        <xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_2">
          <xsl:with-param name="data" select="$data"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="counter" select="$counter+1"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="zero_width_space_2">
    <xsl:param name="data"/>
    <xsl:param name="counter"/>
    <xsl:value-of select='concat(substring($data,$counter,1),"&#8203;")'/>
    <xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_1">
      <xsl:with-param name="data" select="$data"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="counter" select="$counter+1"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>

So, not an FOP problem.

I tried that. Doesn’t work. I understand that non-BMP is not supported, and I’m prepared to live with two .notdef characters in the result, but I’m not sure why I’m getting the fatal error from the parser.

Non-BMP characters are not presently supported by FOP, see [1]. When they are supported, you would best encode them in a file using a single (not two) numeric character entities, e.g., &#x010001;, etc.

I’m stumped by this error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 92; columnNumber: 51; java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: isolated high surrogate

I have text with surrogate pairs throughout the file, but this only occurs in this context:
    <fo:block padding-top="2em" padding-bottom=".5em" text-align="left" font-family="Kozuka Gothic PR6N" font-size="18pt" color="black">
      <xsl:call-template name="zero_width_space_1">
        <xsl:with-param name="data" select="@documentName"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </fo:block>

I’ve checked the input stream, and all the surrogates are correctly paired. I’ve tried escaping the surrogate pairs (e.g. “&#-integer-;”), but that doesn’t change the error.
