[jdom-interest] Escaping ampersand left in output from XMLOutputter

[Per Norrman]

Hi,

JDOM never interprets character entities. Instead of doing:

   e.setText("&#4e24;");

create the text using Java's unicode support:

   e.setText("\u4e24");

or directly:

   e.setText("两");

Wether this character will be encoded or not depends on the
encoding you use when you output the document.
