Saving character bytes on entities is generally a waste of time/energy. However, I'm personally* generally in favor of using actual UTF-8 characters over entities, because that's kind of the point of using UTF-8 in the first place.
* Not particularly backed up by research into what would be a best practice here.

Occured to me when inspecting @KuraFire's PR (#57) for translation. Should we use character entities to replace special characters (apart from < and >) or because of the
<meta charset="UTF-8">
we can just paste it in place instead to save character bytes?Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub:

@diagramatics - There are the rules from the Google HTML/CSS Style Guide which I personally consider as quite general:
There is no need to use entity references like —, ”, or ☺, assuming the same encoding (UTF-8) is used for files and editors as well as among teams.
The only exceptions apply to characters with special meaning in HTML (like < and &) as well as control or “invisible” characters (like no-break spaces).
