The ? you are seeing is because the charset doesn't know what to do
with the ascii value that is contained there.
You have a couple of options to let the browser know exactly what
you mean by that character:
If before any output you specify:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');
will let the browser know you want a charset that defines
what that ascii value means
Or
Because there is no entity defined the htmlentities() for 'tm' you
have to convert it yourself using the numeric entity for it:
echo str_replace("\x99", "™", $a);
Then, your 'tm' will get displayed insted of '?'.
