It's generaly easy to find HTML entity names; do a google search for HTML entity OE or suchlike. (You don't even have to clickthrough for this one; Œ is Œ, as you can see reading the snippet of the first hit.) (BTW, for input you should support UTF-8 chars 338 and 339 (AKA /\x{152}/i), as well as /oe/i. The info on codepoints is in that same table, if you remember that the &#nnn; syntax uses decimal nnn.

Oh, and PM/Everything can pass-through any tag it's told to; it's being told not to passthrough <img> tags. I rather wonder why. I suppose there is a worry people will put <img> tags pointing to porn or other things undeseriable here. (On homenodes, it will allow them IFF the users's level supports homenode images, IIRC.)

Update: I almost forgot: when do you need an entity for curlies? They aren't metachars in HTML nor Everything.

Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.
