The following is quoted from WDG's
Latin-1 Entities:
Browser support is generally best for the decimal character references,
except for the accented characters (decimal 192-214, 216-246, 248-255),
where the character entity references hold a slight edge.
Note that most Mac browsers will render fourteen Latin-1 characters
incorrectly. These characters are decimal 166, 178, 179, 185, 188, 189,
190, 208, 215, 221, 222, 240, 253, and 254. See ISO-8859-1
and the Mac platform for more information.
