And not even that. You can input that character directly too (the problem is in your input method[*] and code-editing software, not in the EPUB/XML format).
Actually, the only entities one should
really need are < & >, because their characters (< & >) would be XML code otherwise.
[*] In vim, I have set two shortcuts (F7 and Shift+F7) to convert from and to entities using
recode. That way I can enter …, press Shift+F7 and have it converted to …, no need to copy-paste, learn codes (other than the mnemonic entities), or change the system configuration. I can also copy paste some fancy text (e.g. "Tiếng Việt") and get its character "decomposition" with F7 (Tiếng Việt).
