 * Hello,
 * There is something wrong with the character encoding. For example when I add 
   some custom information fields and enter text there, the text with characters
   like “ä, ö, ü” is displayed wrong. Is there some way I can fix that problem?
 * I also made a screenshot of what I mean [http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7479/problemkj.png](http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7479/problemkj.png)
 * Thank you!

 * A safer solution is to specify the correct charset to htmlentities, like this:
 * `echo htmlentities($value, ENT_COMPAT ,'UTF-8');`
