Actually, you can use character references for characters, or you can  
write them directly since the default character set is unicode. But nearly  
all of the named entities in HTML are not part of XML and therefore not  
part of SVG. Have a look at the following example SVG (I am assuming that  
I don't run into character encoding problems on the list - otherwise I  
will upload the file):

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";>
<svg width="30em" height="20em" version="1.1"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; viewbox="0 0 300 200">
<!-- these work. They use character references or real characters -->
<text x='20' y="30" fill='blue' font-size='20px'>&#x3b1; &#x3b2; &#x8272;  
&#x94ef; &#x299; &#x257;</text>
<text font-size="20" y="60"> <tspan fill="blue">&#x8272;</tspan>  
&amp;#x8272;</text>
<text font-size="20" y="80" x="100"> <tspan fill="blue">&#x94ef;</tspan>   
&amp;#x94ef; </text>
<text font-size="20" y="100"> <tspan fill="blue">bi&#257;o</tspan>   
bi&amp;#257;o</text>
<text font-size="20" y="120" x="100"> <tspan fill="blue">shù</tspan>   
shù</text>
<text font-size="20" y="140"> <tspan fill="blue">日本</tspan> 日本</text>
<!-- these don't work. They rely on entities that are not part of XML /  
SVG -->
<text font-size="20" y="160" x="100"> <tspan fill="red">f&uacute;</tspan>  
f&amp;uacute;</text>
<text font-size="20" y="180"> <tspan fill="red">di&agrave;o</tspan>   
di&amp;agrave;o</text>

</svg>

cheers
