[Bug 17170] Named character references table: mismatch between code point and glyph

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17170

There appears to be a typo here:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/named-character-references.html#entity-lang

&lang; is a named character reference for U+027E8, but the glyph in the “glyph”
column appears to be some other code point. Getting the value with JavaScript
results in U+2329. (Oddly, downloading the HTML using `curl` and opening it in
Vi, I got U+3008.)

The same goes for &langle; (There appears to be a typo here:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/named-character-references.html#entity-langle).

I’ve noticed similar issues with these table entries:

&LeftAngleBracket; (U+2329 instead of U+27E8)
&NewLine; (U+240A instead of 0+000A)
&rang; (U+232A instead of U+27E9)
&rangle; (U+232A instead of U+27E9)
&RightAngleBracket; (U+232A instead of U+27E9)
&Tab; (U+2409 instead of U+0009)

Some of these might be intentional, but other than that, could you please check
and verify that the right example glyphs are being used? Thanks.
