Strings like ® are character references rather than entity 
references. A character reference is just an alternative way to express 
a character code point. Parsers make no difference between a character 
encoded with a specific encoding (such as utf-8) and the character 
reference. Your step 2 doesn't make much sense to me as XML works well 
with Unicode. What is the reason for it?
