Fix was: 

htmlentities( $string, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8" );

Not sure if I actually need the setlocale or not. Seems to work without 
it.

ENT_HTML5 isn't supported in my server distro's current php (5.3) ...

In PHP < 5.4 the default of the 3rd parameter is 'ISO-8859-1', so
setting this parameter appropriately is important when $string may
contain non ASCII characters.  For instance:

  htmlentities("\xC3\xA4", ENT_COMPAT, 'ISO-8859-1');
  // => '&Atilde;&curren;'

  htmlentities("\xC3\xA4", ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
  // => '&auml;'
