(I don't know why the original implementer doesn't take account of it.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-22 14:47:04] psc at webcraft dot ch Description: ------------ When converting a hexadecimal html entity to UTF-8 with mb_convert_encoding, it get's converted to a broken unicode character (displayed in firefox as a small square). Reproduce code: --------------- $v_html = "š"; echo $v_html; echo mb_convert_encoding($v_html, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES'); echo html_entity_decode($v_html, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); Expected result: ---------------- I'd expect it to output three times the same character, š. At first as hexadecimal html entity, then two times in UTF-8. ššš Actual result: -------------- š[something broken]š ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48645&edit=1
