[OSM-dev] OSM places with strange characters - 2600

[OJW]

If I convert OSM placenames from UTF-8 to HTML, I get things like

München-Waldtrudering

which looks wrong to me.  It was stored in the database as:

München-Waldtrudering

I'm using the PHP function:

htmlentities($Name, ENT_COMPAT, "UTF-8")

Any ideas?
