http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php
says:
Like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities() takes an optional third
argument encoding which defines encoding used in conversion. If omitted,
the default value for this argument is ISO-8859-1 in versions of PHP
prior to 5.4.0, and UTF-8 from PHP 5.4.0 onwards.
