See? It even does this here on the Drupal site. The string "«" in the title above should have been rendered as the « symbol. (As you can see they work fine in the body.)

I had two blocks with simple   as the title - since I didn't want any actual title output in the page, just the block content. This broke in 4.6.0 since now I get an error "duplicate entry". Plus, the   HTML Entity broke. So I set one block to simple single white space ... but the other one I had to set to something else. Which causes me a problems.

I'd love to see if this was an intentional feature, or an oversight based on some backend changes? I'll ***TRY*** and take a look at it closer and see if I can patch it fix this, but ... but ...

TIA!

Single line fields are plain-text in Drupal and do not allow HTML (including entities). You don't need them, with UTF-8 encoding you can enter the characters literally, like this: «.

We could in theory look for entities in plain-text and still decode them, but that would mean you would have to type & if you actually wanted the text to show up literally. Not good.
