See following worked example, in which the named character entities ⟨ and ⟩ do not render in the same typeface as their numeric ‘equivalents’ 〈 and 〉.
But they should be the same: see

Reproducible: Always

⟨ and ⟩ have been changed to U+27E8 and U+27E9. See bug 603716.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED
Closed: 14 years ago
Resolution: --- → INVALID
For ⟨ and ⟩ we use:
27E8;MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET;Ps;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;
27E9;MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET;Pe;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;
rather than HTML4's:
2329;LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET;Ps;0;ON;3008;;;;Y;BRA;;;;
232A;RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET;Pe;0;ON;3009;;;;Y;KET;;;;
or HTML5's:
27EA;MATHEMATICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET;Ps;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;
27EB;MATHEMATICAL RIGHT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET;Pe;0;ON;;;;;Y;;;;;

Er, sorry, HTML5 does match what we do.

FWIW, the Math WG manages the named character mappings. They had some reason to change the mappings. IIRC, this had something to do with the character classes. HTML5 uses the mappings from the Math WG.
Reporter, for future reference: When filing bugs, please read http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ instead of any of the HTML 4.x specs.

Apologies. I was not aware that these mappings could be altered.
Nonetheless, the posted example HTML does start:
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
so my thinking that 〈 = 〈 should match ⟨ wasn’t utterly foolish. (Should HTML 4 be rendered as HTML 4 rather than as something else?)

All text/html is treated as (potentially invalid) latest flavor of HTML that has been implemented. Browsers don't have separate implementations for different HTML versions.
