> There is a missing ; after each &yen in the given url.

However, the following code (from local file) also does not work:
<HTML>
<BODY>
Yen with SEMICOLON:  &YEN;1000<br>
Yen with COMMA: &YEN,1000<br>
Yen with COLON:  &YEN:1000<br>
Yen with PERIOD:  &YEN,1000<br>
Yen with NOTHING:  &YEN1000<br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
=================================
Character entity references are case-sensitive (e.g. &Acirc; is a capital A with
a circumflex, &acirc; is a lower-case a with a circumflex): all of those
examples except the third and last (because both colon and numbers are legal
HTML NAME characters) will work with yen rather than YEN, none will work with
YEN even in IE.
Summary: &YEN does not show the Japanese currency symbol → lightstone.co.jp - unclosed entities
Thank you VERY MUCH for pointing my misunderstanding. You're completely right.
&yen in lower cases works. By the way, it is very good lesson to tell that IE is
so loosly work even without ; like in this specific case... I like firefox. I
close this thread.

Yes, I have told the site manager, and he has already updated the page. Now,
Firefox displays &yen correctly there.

yep, the pointed page has ';' after &yen. 

should close this bug as FIXED, not INVALID, because this is an Evangelism Bug.
