I believe that is part of Beautify actually.
Plus, it *can* replace them as you type -- which is an option that can be turned off in the settings.
I can't argue with what you said about the editor.

My comment arose from what I observed when testing with one of my AZW3 books plus its KindleUnpack epub counterpart. Neither have had any editing other than whatever KUnpk does.

In both cases the books had fewer level 2 errors in the scrambled version than in the source. When I investigated the disappearing errors all related to 'named entities present'. All had been replaced with their unicode char equivalent.

All I can say is that I haven't actively knowingly coded for them to be auto-replaced - but equally, I can't rule out having used default settings rather than an unknown (to me) optional setting which would have forced them to NOT be auto-replaced.

If you forsee this auto-replacing as a problem I'd need to ask Kovid's advice.
