(defalias 'xhc 'expand-html-encoded-chars)

and then tried to do the same with this function:

(defun reverse-string (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (setq str (buffer-substring beg end))
  (apply #'string (nreverse (string-to-list str))))

but it doesn't seem to work, although it doesn't produce errors in a traceback buffer. What am I missing?

Miles' expand-html-encoded-chars function modifies the buffer, with replace-match. Your reverse-string function generates a value, but
does not modify the buffer.
