The ↺ in his code is a HTML named entity. As are the ” and “. While these were correct in epub2 and supported by DTD, epub3 does not recognize named entities other than the quo, amp, apos, lt and gt quintet.

As I said, Sigil has better support for epub3 at this time. Even such minor items as the AddiBookXML, epub2 output and ePub3-itizer plugin make life a bit easier.
