The link in

cpython/Lib/html/__init__.py

Line 28 in 0e081a0

# see http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#tokenizing-character-references

is not longer relevant and should be replace:

• current link http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#tokenizing-character-references
• more accurate link https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#numeric-character-reference-end-state

The link should explain the source of the replacements table:

# see http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#tokenizing-character-references

_invalid_charrefs = {
    0x00: '\ufffd',  # REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
    0x0d: '\r',      # CARRIAGE RETURN
    0x80: '\u20ac',  # EURO SIGN
    0x81: '\x81',    # <control>
    0x82: '\u201a',  # SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
    0x83: '\u0192',  # LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK
    0x84: '\u201e',  # DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
    0x85: '\u2026',  # HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
    0x86: '\u2020',  # DAGGER
    0x87: '\u2021',  # DOUBLE DAGGER
