need help in entity resolution

These are numeric character references, not entity references. They don't
have to be defined (and in fact can't be defined); they map directly into
the Unicode characters with those numbers. During output, the serializer
maps these Unicode characters to their corresponding characters in the
selected output encoding, or outputs them as numeric references if the
encoding does not have a corresponding character.
> When the document is serialized, — is replaced with hyphen
Check the details of your encoding; that may be correct. Check the file at
the byte level; it's also possible that what you're seeing isn't actually a
hyphen but a character which appears similar when displayed by your
system/software.
