The htmlentities() function is a nice tool to convert "strange" letters to literal html entities that every browser is able to understand.

The problem comes with WAP phones. With WML, you can't use most of the html entities: there are just 7 or 8 entities, while all the others are missing.

The solution is to write the "strange letters" with their ASCII value. 
Check the note I added to the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/function.htmlentities.php

My feature request is: a builtin table for the conversion of "strange letters" to ASCII value entities.

You can do more complicated thing with
mbstring functions.
