It seems to me that Amaya 8.8.1 generates Hexadecimal entities for [Symbols] and [Internationalization] characters using Charset ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and US-ASCII. Amaya does not, it seems, generate numeric or name entities for [ISO 8859-1 characters], code position 161 through 255, using Charset US-ASCII. (Will be fixed in next Amaya release, according to Irčne/INRIA, 24 Nov.) (As previously mentioned, when using Charset ISO-8859-1 it is my Wish that Amaya will generate Decimal character references for characters of code position 161 through 8364, for the purpose of accurately transferring HTML-files over the Internet.)
