Hello, if you specify the encoding type UTF-8 this should work as expected, I don't believe right single quote is part of the default iso-8859-1 specification.

<?php
$char = html_entity_decode('&rsquo;', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
echo $char;
echo htmlentities($char, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
?>

You are correct.  It is only part of the cp1252 "Windows specific charset for Western European." for php.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html states that it is part of the "Character entity references for symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters" - [ISO10646].  Thanks.
