Comment (by sabernhardt):

 This patch probably is ready, though I did not add the `commit` keyword in
 case someone else would want to test additional characters and/or add
 feedback.

 The only identified problems occur with the dash character codes, and the
 PR fixes those plus others (both numeric codes and entities).
