Calling syntax is...
$str = htmlentities( "string containing U+2225", ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8"
);
Other incorrect conversions seem to abound...
$str = ctwEncodeUtf8(
"∥∦∧∨∩∪∫" );
echo $str.'<br>';
$str = htmlentities( $str, ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8" );
echo $str.'<br>';
echo htmlentities( $str, ENT_QUOTES, 'utf-8' ).'<br>';
exit;
Note: ctwEncodeUtf8 is the same function as found at
http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=838&single=1
Results:
a∦ÈÉ¿¾ç
¿¾çÉ¿¾ç
∩∪∫É¿¾ç
The first and second lines should be the same.

There seems to be a bug in htmlentities() utf-8 conversion. The unicode
character U+2225 a gets converted into ∩ which is the html entity
for the unicode character U+2229 ¿. It should be using ∥ to get
the correct symbol.
