BE AWARE:  The documentation around the default charset might be wrong.

The changelog says:
5.3.3 	Default charset changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. 

Despite the fact that we are running 5.3.3-7 when we do

html_entity_decode("&nbsp;", ENT_QUOTES);
we get "\xa0" the ISO-8859-1 version of a non breaking space.

When we change this to:
html_entity_decode("&nbsp;", ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
we properly get "\xc2\xa0"

Implying that 'UTF-8' is NOT the default for our installation of php.
