word转html的xslt,Word XML - XSLT to HTML

I have Word XML files that I convert to html with the use of an XLST file. I need to convert Wingdings symbols in Word to Unicode during the conversion. I have the following code in my XSLT:

☑

☒

font-family:

&#x;

&#x;

&#x;

My problem is that I get an error in Microsoft Web Developer Express with the span blocks saying invalid character in decimal number. Any ideas on how else to use the unicode symbols and have them convert to html correctly?
