I'm not sure the editors can be blamed, but it's also not the only case; for example, pasting a caption into an email to an editor, or a version control diff email, and so on. Because of these sorts of cases, I'd continue to use in HTML and not the Unicode character even if editors handled it better. -- Glenn Maynard
