Description:
------------
In all example code, and in all php functions, I can not find a simple snipet that will find html enties that are attached to characters (e.g. "é" a unicode construct) and decode them properly (to "é").

The string "Japrisot, Sébastien" is just ignored by html_entity_decode() and returned as is -- nothing changed.

The only solution seems to write a custom replacement function, which seems a bit odd since html_entity_decode purports to decode common entities.

If you work with marc records, as I do you come across these entities all the time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$string = "Japrisot, Se&#x301;bastien";
$decoded = html_entity_decode($string);
echo $decoded;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Japrisot, Se&#769;bastien

Actual result:
--------------
Japrisot, Se&#x301;bastien
