You should also be able to simply put the appropriate symbol font at the 
end of the list of fonts you are using, e.g.:

<fo:root font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, Symbol">

The use or non-use of UTF-8 will not affect your ability to refer to any 
character, although it may affect the ability of your text editor or 
content management system to correctly handle the file. Using numeric 
character references, as in the example above, is the safest approach 
but should never be necessary unless you are using tools that cannot 
handle Unicode characters above 255 correctly (for example, editors that 
can only handle pure ASCII).

Cheers,

Eliot
