 get_previous_posts_link (located in wp-includes/link-template.php ) has a
 regular expression at line 1569
 preg_replace( '/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/', '&$1', $label )

 This replaces ''⇐'' into ''⇐'', hence ''⇐'' is not
 allowed as a linktext. (html entites with capital letter(s) disallowed)


 get_next_posts_link (also located in wp-includes/link-template.php ) has a
 regular expression at line 1498
 preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&$1', $label)

 This does not replace ''⇐''

 I propose to use
 preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&$1', $label)
 both get_next_posts_link and get_previous_posts_link
