Twitterfeed doesn't do entity conversion

I don't think twitterfeed does anything wrong here - the original source contains the & # 8217 ; character (a sort of "rich quote" - I added spaces here so it actually prints) - twitterfeed makes sure the post is UTF-8 encoded, but there's no reason why it would need to convert an entity like this - it posts this "as is".

This works fine on the web (see http://twitter.com/github), but some clients like twitterrific and others don't display it correctly. I had a long discussion around this on here a while ago, but it seems getsatisfaction has lost most of the thread.. the upshot is/was that I don't think twitterfeed can do anything about this, but that certain twitter clients don't handle the entities correctly.
