Vertical Hold

So I grab my subscriptions from Bloglines as OPML. They encode in UTF-8. I'm not sure if this is entirely correct though:

But since I know next to nothing about UTF-8, I'll assume that this is the right way to do it, where \x2F is a slash (/).

I'm using libxslt to convert the OPML into HTML, but these UTF-8 characters are getting on my nerves. How do I tell libxslt to translate these to something that is grokable in rendered html?

Update Aug 17, 2004: Bloglines is no longer including \x2f characters in their OPML. All is well, although I still don't know how to deal with it next time...
