 * Hello again! Quick question regarding special character codes. I wanted to insert
   some checkmarks using `✓` but the & was auto-converted to an ampersand, so in
   the table it just displays the code. Since it’s not a very common character reference,
   I checked to see if it displays correctly when just put into a wp post, and it
   does fine. Any suggestions?

 * Hi Heather,
 * thanks for your question.
    It seems that the escaping function has problems with
   such characters when the numerical part of the character code is more than 4 
   characters long. Unfortunately, I was not yet able to find a solution to this.
 * Have you tried to just paste in the sign as-is (and not the code for it)? That
   should also work, as everything is usually treated as utf-8 encoding.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
