OK - probably I should have said "A",or "a" :) My point was just
that there is not really anything special about "special" characters.

No, not in any case.

I have to agree w/Walter. Use unicode as a storage format. The entity
encodings are for transfer/interchange. Encode/decode on the way in and
out if you have to. Would you store "a" as "A" ? It makes it
impossible to search for, for one thing. What if someone wants to
search for the TM character?

AFAICT, it's not an "extremely bad idea" - using SGML/HTML as a

explaining yourself.
But maybe TM should be encoded as "™". Ditto for other named
SGML entities.

Again, I'd like to know why this is wanted. It sounds like an X-Y,
problem. Storing Unicode characters as XML/HTML encoded character
references is an extremely bad idea.

Any analysis filtering affects the indexed value only, but the

What's about having a simple charfilter in the analyzer queue for
indexing *and* searching. e.g
<charFilter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="™"
replacement="™" />
or
<charFilter class="solr.MappingCharFilterFactory"
mapping="mapping-specials.txt" />

I have a data coming in to SOLR as below.
<field name="displayName">X™ - Black</field>
I need to store the HTML Entity (decimal) equivalent value (i.e.
™)
in SOLR rather than storing the original value.
Is there a way to do this?
