Description:
------------
Calling htmlentities on '?' generates two entities rather than just £ as expected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php echo "?=>".htmlentities('?'); ?>

Expected result:
----------------
Output should be "?=>&pound;"

Actual result:
--------------
"?=>&Acirc;&pound;", where did the '&Acirc;' come from?
