        print "-->".htmlentities("test à")."<--\n";

        print "-->".htmlentities("test ù")."<--\n";
        print "-->".htmlentities("test è")."<--\n";

Adding optional params 'quote_style' and 'charset' solves the problem

print "-->".htmlentities("test ì",ENT_COMPAT,"ISO-8859-1")."<--\n";

will output

-->test &igrave;<--

You must use correct encoding.
