This goes for all HTML4 entities that end with a numerical letter (as
opposed to an alphanumerical one). The AFAIK complete list is:

sup1
sup2
sup3
frac12
frac14
frac34
there4

It's definitely a khtml or konqueror thing, as KCharsets::fromEntity()
does the right thing.

OK, I think I have it:

kdelibs/khtml/html/htmltokenizer.cpp:
in function HTMLTokenizer::parseEntity()
in the condition of the second 'if' in the while (src.length() ) loop,
(it's l.599 in my sources, but they are from a month ago),
there is a term that reads
> (cc >= 'a' && cc <= 'z')
that should read
> (cc >= 'a' && cc <= 'z' || cc >= '0' && cc <= '9')

Sorry, but I cannot make a diff (network does not work at the other box)
and cannot test.
