Thank you, this approach works. There is something strange however. In:

<text>&#x2217; = asteriskmath symbol, &#x221A; radical symbol and &#x221D;
proportional symbol</text>

only the asteriskmath and the proportional symbols are printed but NOT the
radical symbol. 

The symbol entry in fonts.xml looks like:
<font name="Symbol" 
      afm="Symbol.afm" 
      embed="false"/>

The stylesheet is using: <xsl:attribute name="font-family">'Times Roman',
Symbol, 'Zapf Dingbats'</xsl:attribute>

Any idea?

We still working with ascii encoding for some reasons (CMS and tooling).
