I had a related experience with entities. In a book with block extracts in Courier font, I was dismayed to see that in book view Sigil rendered bullets and en dashes as generic black blocks. As it happens, this book was only for the Amazon Kindle platform, so I uploaded the epub to the KDP and let it convert. I was pleased to see that, pace book view, the bullets and en dashes rendered correctly, so I published it without "fixing" the errors.
But the question still nags me: if I had uploaded the epub to Barnes & Noble etc., which would have won out, the html entity for bullet or the black blob?
I use named entities. Would numerical entities have made Sigil happier?
