have you looked the below file and adjusted to your needs 

/etc/profile.d/sp.sh

especially 
 export SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES
 export SP_ENCODING=XML

I am writing with UTF-8 and I do not have a issue ( just with TeX which I
have fixed with placing the following in jadetex.cfg as otherwise I do
have the Turkish characters) 

\global\def\Language{TR}
\inputencoding{latin5}

But with Fop or HTML there is no issue at all
