Entities will only be serialized when using WebDAV. Did you try that as well?

I haven't run many tests yet, but importing the file and exporting the files again from the gui only retains 
 Also, when the entity is in decimal (&8332;), it gets transformed to hex (not a big deal in my book). Other entities are 'applied', but not retained.
I'm on BaseX 8.6 beta 4c3daeb

Hi France,
why not implement all the space and joiner entities   to ‍?
Good idea. I have added even some more characters (see [1]):
8192 – 8207 8232 – 8239 8287 – 8303
A new snapshot (close to the final version 8.6) is online [2]; I’be grateful for some testing feedback!

Hi France,
In the database, all Unicode characters will be stored in their standard (decoded) representation. As a result, it is not possible to preserve entities from an original document. For XML serialization via WebDAV, we have one special rule for converting non-breaking spaces (xA0) to entities. Which other Unicode characters would you like to have converted to entities?
Cheers, Christian

Hi,
When I serialize content to HTML5, I lose some entities.
xquery: adds '‍' in front of some content and outputs html html: should have '‍', but doesn't. I've tried with 8204 and even the half space 8201.
The only special space that seems to work is  , but it won't do
for
what I need right now.
Code sample:
let $target-table := copy $copy := $base-table modify( for $td in $copy//tr/td[position()=$column-to-filter-by] let $new-value := ('‍', for $node in $td/node() return $node) return replace value of node $td with $new-value ) return $copy
return $target-table
Is there any way to solve this?
