Encoding error on file description

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload a file
2. Write a description
3. See the description in the client view

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The characters are in a wrong encoding and the HTML entities function is used 
twice so we see HTML entities.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

r375 on a linux server.

Please provide any additional information below.

The system execute htmlentities() before put data in the database and execute 
it another time in the template. 

To resolve the problem, I just add the third parameter of htmlentities() to 
UTF-8 in the function encode_html() (includes/function.php) and remove the 
htmlentities() for the title and the description in 
templates/default/template.php.

I think the best approach is to start by changing the collation of every table.
Hoewever, that can corrupt alread existing data. I'm looking into this to 
include it in the next update.
