Why html_entity_decode() decodes "ó" incorrectly?
Why html_entity_decode() decodes "ó" to unknown character?
echo "ó -> ".html_entity_decode('ó');
Gives the following result:
ó -> �
in raw format (not interpretated by browser):
ó -> �
Charset is UTF8.

That's because of default encoding which is ISO-8859-1 (for PHP before 5.4). Set it to UTF-8 in third argument of html_entity_decode.
