You'll find a setting in Sigil Preferences call Preserve Entities where you'll need to add the list of entities you want to preserve. Note, however, that the narrow non-breaking space entity is currently being converted to a narrow non-breaking space character.

The underscore is to let you know that there's a special invisible character there. In this case, a narrow non-breaking space character.

This is not a bug. Sigil is operating as expected. Protect the entities you wish to preserve (as entities) by adding them to the Preserve Entities list in preferences.
