The documentation clearly states:

5.4.0	 The default value for the encoding parameter was changed to UTF-8.

Tks for the answer, Ramus.

By the way the Brazilian Portuguese documentation are not updated. This is the reason for this ticket.

I saw there a lot of issues to updated related to html encoding.
