Hi folks,

Many sites are now using Character Entity Names defined under

	https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-entity-names/

	https://github.com/w3c/xml-entities/blob/gh-pages/unicode.xml

	https://github.com/w3c/xml-entities/raw/refs/heads/gh-pages/unicode.xml

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html#named-character-references

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references

which currently render verbatim rather than being ignored or blanked, for example:

	$ lynx -dump -nonumbers -nolist libera.chat | grep '&[^;]\+;'
	                          Libera.&ZeroWidthSpace;Chat
	Libera.&ZeroWidthSpace;Chat

Please consider updating your entities from what I can see in your snapshots, or 
provide an innocuous default?
