Special characters in <a href>

Hi,I generate a html using JAXPs xslt transformer.

One of the <A href="{$pHREF}"> consists of Western european special characters(where pHREF is a xsl variable/param).

while text printing, the special characters() are printed as they are, but are distorted when I want to generate a <A href=""/>.
