That makes no sense because I used the escaped unicode character
format, just like HTML does. So those characters (documentation
content) should be copied as-is to the HTML.   The following
characters interpreted by a Web Browser will display a unicode
character, but on their own (as-is), they are valid ASCII characters:
&#x2026;

&#x2026;

should be treated exactly the same as

<    or   >    or   &

when generating HTML output from fpdoc.
