Thanks for the links - I did vaguely recall those threads but the search I ran didn't pull them up.

That said, neither link acknowledges whether this should be considered a bug, so curious for John or Charles' input. Like I said, I've got no problem with the decision for code view to translate the unicode character to an entity, but IMHO search and replace is broken since you can't search/replace that entity across all files (and unless you know about this issue and know what the actual unicode character is it's non-trivial to work around).
