I think that we should simply leave the unicode character or entity as
is in HTML and let bowsers and users handle it.

In Info it could be different, we could want to do something, but I do
not think that we should really go down that road as it could add a lot
of complexity if there are many of those special characters, and also it
does not fit very well in the spirit of texinfo which is semantic at the
command level, not at the character level.
