[thelist] valid character entities for XML

I use TinyMCE in a custom built CMS. By default it converts ' (right single quotes, aka apostrophes) to ’

Recently I've been working on adding the ability to generate a valid xml rss 2.0 feed from this same content.

Entities like ’ don't validate and break the feed, whereas entities like ’ do validate.

Is anyone familiar enough with TinyMCE to know whether this behavior can be changed, and if so, point me in the right direction?

Or, are there other similar editors like TinyMCE that will output valid strict XHTML?
