I agree with this in general, but at most we can make recommendations
in this area. NCR use, in general, should be discouraged. I believe
ERCS has a set of entities that could be used instead (&U+HHHH; where
HHHH are 4 hexdecimal digits).

By using these, we move away from handling NCR's to handling undefined
entities...
