so, should we do an htmlentities() on it or something?

yep, htmlentities() should be done, instead of htmlspecialchars() ..

htmlentities doesn't handle multi-byte characters

why not the 8bit utf format?

htmlentities($str, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');

I am not sure if this works with PHP4 .. I think the support was broken until PHP5, but you can test it anyways.
