Thanks for the prompt reply. I understood though that this function
with double encode arg set to false would not act on _any_ existing html
entities.
Is there a reason why it does not recognize these codes, or is it an
oversight/bug?

It's just that the function does not understand the hex entities. :)

obviously that should have been $out = htmlspecialchars($str,
ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8', FALSE);
:)

Description:
------------
Trying to use htmlspecialchars() on a string containing &#xHEX;
characters e.g. £
With double encode set to false, it still converts the & to &
Reproduce code:
---------------
$str = "£ one & two";
$out = htmlspecialchars($content, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8', FALSE);
echo $out;
Expected result:
----------------
£ one & two
Actual result:
--------------
£ one & two
