Encoding for character entitdy references like ™

[designsimply]

I am running PhpDig 1.8.7. My PHPDIG_ENCODING var is set correctly to match the files on my site, but PhpDig is converting things like ™ to ™. It looks like it is trying to turn & into & even if it is part of another character entity reference. How can I fix this?

I found an HTML ENTITIES section in config.php, and in the $spec array, there are things like "&egrave" => "\350". What is the \350 and how do I look it up for other characters such as the greek lowercase beta, & #946;, and the trademark symbol, & #8482; or & trade;.

The current $spec array is set as follows:

//----------HTML ENTITIES
$spec = array( "&amp" => "&",
               "&agrave" => "Ã*",
               "&egrave" => "è",
               "&ugrave" => "ù",
               "ó" => "ó",
               "&eacute" => "é",
               "&icirc" => "î",
               "&ocirc" => "ô",
               "&ucirc" => "û",
               "&ecirc" => "ê",
               "&ccedil" => "ç",
               "&#156" => "oe",
               "&gt" => " ",
               "&lt" => " ",
               "&deg" => " ",
               "&apos" => "'",
               "&quot" => " ",
               "&acirc" => "â",
               "&iuml" => "ï",

               "&iacute" => "Ã*",
               "&reg" => " ",
               "&copy" => " ",
               "&aacute" => "á",

               );

Try looking at it using a text only editor such as Notepad. The values on the right hand side are (extended) ASCII characters. There is a list of (extended) ASCII characters at www.asciitable.com.
