No. By default accented letters and emoji stay as they are unless you tick the non-ASCII option or escape a specific character.
A named reference uses a short word such as the one for an ampersand, while a numeric reference uses the code point of the character.
No. Your text stays in the input box and only the result box holds the escaped version you can copy.
