Comment (by jonsurrell):

 Thanks for the report! Does this happen with other HTML character
 references?

 > Use `WP_Customize_Manager::add_setting()` and
 `WP_Customize_Manager::add_control()` to create a text setting/control
 with the default value `©`…

 It would be helpful if you share a full working code example to test this
 out.
