title: Saxparser not parsing HTML numeric character reference. question mark displayed
body: <p>I am trying to Parse an xml which is containing &#8212; and &amp;#8217 numeric character references. On parsing it gives me output as "?". it is not only these two, any HTML/XMl numeric character references in the xml creates this issue. only pre-defined entities are getting accepted by the saxparser</p>
  
  <p>i use defaulthandler saxparser. system out in character method shows me a question mark for the numeric character references.</p>
  
  <p>i did lot of googling, everywhere i see that usage of numberic character refernce should not create any issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any help?</p>
