Description
In the wordpress.pot file, two characters are represented by both their numbered and lettered HTML entities. These are:
Em-dash: the POT file contains both — and —
Right angle quote: the POT file contains both » and »
I'm not sure if it matters but it certainly is a little inconsistent.

Inconsistent maybe, but I don't think it matters so much.

+1 for ... => … => …
And also, i think that wordpress strings should not use » (»), « («) › (›) ‹ (‹) becouse of the RTL support.
If we change Log out » => Log out users will still understand the meaning.
Same for ← and →.
We can change "← Back to %s" => "Back to %s" (wp-login.php:127).

- Version changed from 3.2.1 to 2.5.1
Version number is used to track when the bug was introduced/reported.
June 5, 2008, that would be 2.5.1.

Whoops... there are two more such cases I didn't even see:
Ellips: the POT file contains both … and …
Double right angle quote: the POT file contains both › and ›
I'm confident that these four are the only ones.
