Did you by any chance skip the Sigil 0.9.11 update or did you install two different Sigil versions on your machine? If so, your .ini files might not have been properly converted. (I'm not sure if the Sigil 0.9.12 installer also converts legacy .ini files.)
If that's the case, you should also see entries with à characters, if you open the Clip Editor/Saved Searches dialog boxes.
If you also see à characters in the Clip Editor/Saved Searches dialog boxes, you might have to manually convert your old .ini files to utf-8 files.
However, before you do anything, please wait for an authoritative answer by @DiapDealer

I saved a backup copy of sigil.ini and removed the entity name and code entries. I then recreated the entries and the preserve_entity_codes now has a mass of various size spaces and a double right arrow. Testing shows the entities are surviving open/modify/save. I was using Notepad++ to edit -- it's been my preferred editor for a decade or so now.
The clips and saved searches both look good.
I did install Sigil 9.11 and promptly ran into the @fontface issue. Came here to complain and, dang it, 9.12 had already been released addressing the issue.
My thanks to all those who helped with the issue.
