We are on the verge of HTML-5. Does any one know if such things as &xxx; are going to get deprecated in favor of unicode?

Entities are not deprecated, but with UTF-8 they are largely unnecessary.

Do you have any references for that? I've found a couple of references that say they are, and I also got errors (or maybe warnings) from w3c validator when using any but just a few *named* entities.

This page indicates there are only 5 *named* entities which are still valid:

Of course with HTML5 spec still being draft, things could change.
