For example, U+2235(which is encoded to "\xe2\x88\xb5" with UTF-8) is not in http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent, but htmlentities() returns "&becaus;". U+226A(&Lt;) and U+226B(&Gt;) are similler case. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump(htmlentities("\xe2\x88\xb5", ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8")); Expected result: ---------------- string(3) "æ" Actual result: -------------- string(8) "&becaus;" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46478&edit=1
