You can't use that character in element names. Element names need to start with a letter or underscore. After that, digits, period, hyphen and underscore are also allowed. Colon can also be used and for namespaces.Other characters can't be used. Also, starting the name with "xml" isn't allowed.

Good luck!

Your question is wrong, because you can use any unicode character in an xml file, but not in any role.
XML element tag has to be a name as defined in the xml specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Name[^]. As I see, neither of your ominous characters comply.
