From the Sun RI documentation:

Character Escaping Control

Property name:	com.sun.xml.bind.characterEscapeHandler
Type:	com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.CharacterEscapeHandler
Default value:	 null
By default, the marshaller implementation of the JAXB RI tries to escape characters so they can be safely represented in the output encoding (by using Unicode numeric character references of the form &#dddd;)

Unfortunately, due to various technical reasons, the default behavior may not meet your expectations. If you need to handle escaping more adroitly than the default manner, you can do so by doing the following:

Write a class that implements the com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.CharacterEscapeHandler interface.
Create a new instance of it.
Set that instance to the Marshaller by using this property.
