Amaya changes © to (c) symbol

Using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
  <title>Some Title</title>
  <meta name="generator" content="Amaya, see http://www.w3.org/Amaya/" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

After coding these:

<p>&nbsp;</p>

and

<p>&copy; 2010 The Health Systems Group</p>

and saving, then reopening the documents, Amaya shows:

<p>~</p>

and

<p>© 2010 The Health Systems Group</p>

having converted them to special characters.

1. Is this normal?
2. Can it be overridden?

Thank you,

Bill Braun
