Google recommend that you don t use any of them  source      There is no need to use entity references like  amp mdash   amp rdquo  or    amp  x263a  assuming the same encoding  UTF-8  is used for files and   editors as well as among teams    Is there a reason you can t simply use

There is no difference  in browsers that you can find in the wild these days  that is  excluding things like Netscape 1 that you might find in a museum   There is no reason to suspect that any of them would be deprecated ever  especially since they are all valid in XML  in HTML 4 01  and in HTML5 CR   There is no reason to use any of them  as opposite to using the Ascii quotation mark     directly  except in the very special case where you have an attribute value enclosed in such marks and you would like to use the mark inside the value  e g   title  Hello  amp quot world amp quot     and even then  there are almost always better options  like title  Hello  word   or title  Hello    word       If you want to use    smart    quotation marks instead  then it   s a different question  and none of the constructs has anything to do with them  Some people expect notations like  amp quot  to produce    smart    quotes  but it is easy to see that they don   t  the notations unambiguously denote the Ascii quote      as used in computer languages

There really aren t any differences    amp quot  is processed as  amp  34  which is the decimal equivalent of  amp x22  which is the ISO 8859-1 equivalent of     The only reason you may be against using  amp quot  is because it was mistakenly omitted from the HTML 3 2 specification   Otherwise it all boils down to personal preference
