Comment:

 Note that the block editor doesn't allow you to add markup to the post
 title. You can, however, add markup via the quick edit on the post list
 table. So I don't think that decoding the entities is correct.

 I also think perhaps `wp_kses_post()` should be used instead of
 `esc_html()`.
