http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

says:
    Like htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities() takes an optional third 
argument encoding which defines encoding used in conversion. If omitted, 
the default value for this argument is ISO-8859-1 in versions of PHP 
prior to 5.4.0, and UTF-8 from PHP 5.4.0 onwards.
