Comment:

 Until we resolve the issues in #10005 you can use UTF-8 characters, they
 will surely work.

 If the characters are part of your alphabet or are traditional punctuation
 marks, it is preferable to use the UTF-8 character than the HTML entity.
 The entities are useful in a multi-language and multi-encoding culture
 (like development), actual characters are perfectly OK for mono-language,
 mono-encoding culture (like translation), where entering the character is
 one keypress away. If I had to enter « on my keyboard I would either have
 to copy/paste or use the Special characters pallete from my OS.
