Works for me...?

Apparently it's an SMF bug.

Also of note is that the fourth column (the second instance of characters) were all entities before I posted, so entities are not treated as literals but converted to entities. This has all sorts of interesting consequences.

I think it's always been the case - and I occasionally used it to enter entities that I didn't know the Alt code for.. :P

Question, then, should the entity be left as a literal, or be treated as though the entity should be converted to its character equivalent?

This may have other concerns, e.g. nobbc or even the controversial 39 entity.

I'd tend not to change anything, because it's not *too* broken... And the 39 can always be changed later on (with a simple DB query...), so I'm not too worried about that one for now...
