Special Characters trap/filter #6

Special Characters trap/filter
==============================

This is for things like the å in Håkan - to ensure they are displayed 
correctly I was going to ensure that the submission/moderation system 
automatically caught them and converted them to - in this example - 
å. May not even be necessary, but I presume it's on the list as it 
caused problems, as it doesn't sound like something I'd think pre-
emptively...

If you have the database and table collations set to Unicode (utf-8) this 
shouldn't
be a problem. The issue is then one of displaying as HTML. I think you can use
htmlentities() or something to handle this correctly (I've not used this ever):
