In Perl, I am trying to decode strings which contain numeric HTML entities using [HTML::Entities](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::Entities). Some entities work, while "newer" entities don't. For example:

```
decode_entities('&#174;');  # returns ® as expected
decode_entities('&#8486;'); # returns â„¦ instead of Ω
decode_entities('&#9733;'); # returns â˜… instead of ★

```

Is there a way to decode these "newer" HTML entities in Perl? In PHP, the `html_entity_decode` function seems to decode all of these entities without any problem.
