Description:
------------
If you specify utf8 encoding using the config options 'char-encoding', 'input-encoding' and 'output-encoding' with tidy it converts HTML entities into their latin1, single-byte equivalents rather than the correct, multi-byte utf-8 encodings (or just leaving them as entities) 

The result is that   is converted into 0xA0, é is converted into 0xE9 and so on. This is not valid UTF-8 and so well-behaving XML parsers, including PHP's DOM, fail.

Specifying 'utf8' as the third parameter works correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$dirty='<a href="http://fr.yahoo.com/r/n/fd/7/*http://fr.news.yahoo.com/12122005/202/beatrice-dalle-temoigne-au-proces-de-son-mari-accuse-de.html">B&eacute;atrice Dalle t&eacute;moigne au proc&egrave;s de son mari accus&eacute; de viol</a><br/>

$config['char-encoding']='utf8';
$config['input-encoding']='utf8';
$config['output-encoding']='utf8';
$config['output-xhtml']=true;

echo tidy_repair_string($dirty, $config);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Note well the correct unicode e-acute and e-grave in the French text.

Actual result:
--------------
Note how the e-acute and e-grave has been replaced with a non-unicode character.

The source is available at http://www.nikmakepeace.com/testcases/tidy-utf8.phps

Be sure to force your browser's character encoding to utf-8 before copying it.

Note also that changing the last line to  echo tidy_repair_string($dirty, $config, 'utf8'); produces the desired results, but should not be necessary.

ye, this is a known problem.
But from what I can see from the code, this seems to be a tidylib problem, rather than PHP's.

Please report this problem to tidy developers. Thanks.
