Hmm - &laqno; is probably «... I would suggest using Sebastian
Rahtz's unicode.xml which is a very nice and complete base of
information about unicode characters from which (using xslt!) one can
easily extract character entities for building a DTD, plus lots of other
useful info.

I got my copy with jadetex, but it is lying around the internet in a few
places. I can mail it to you if you wish or chase down a link if it
would be of general interest.
