Unless you have set the character encoding of the document to the same as
what you have, say, in the database, you would have trouble showing, for
example, your last name, with that umlaut. Anyway, I would read the
comments for the function because I believe there are some issues beyond the
characters handled by htmlspecialchars. I just prefer to set the character
encoding compatible from end to end.

htmlentities escapes ALL characters that need it
What characters other than the four (or five)
NEED escaping, and why?
