New Comment:
I've been spending further time trying to work out what's happening,
and am convinced something is definitely not right.
I've also found another character where the presence of the character
results in the whole string disappearing, and there may be others.
Using this reproduce code:
<?php echo htmlentities ('Test ', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />' .
preg_replace('/[^\x00-\x7F]/e', '"&#".ord("$0").";"', 'Test ') . '<br
/>' . htmlentities ('Test', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />'; ?>
I get different results for machines running SUSE Linux/PHP5.2.4, Linux
Ubuntu/PHP 5.2.3 and WinXP/PHP 5.2.5. Only the second gives the result I
would expect.
1. From a linux machine terminal:
Firstly doing
less t.php
gives
<?php echo htmlentities ('Test 233 206', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br
/>' . preg_replace('/[^\x00-\x7F]/e', '"&#".ord("$0").";"', 'Test 233
206') . '<
br />' . htmlentities ('Test', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />'; ?>
with the 233 and 206 background-highlighted.

Test <br />Test › †<br />Test<br />
2. From the same machine but viewing with a web browser
(FF2.0.0.11/WinXP), i.e. example.com/t.php (which is serving up UTF-8
pages as confirmed by web-sniffer.net):
Test ? ?<br />Test › †<br />Test<br />
[two symbols appear as ? in diamond]
3. On another machine, with the putty terminal set to UTF-8:
less t.php
gives:
<?php echo htmlentities ('Test ', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />' .
preg_replace('/[^\x00-\x7F]/e', '"&#".ord("$0").";"', 'Test ') . '<br
/>' . htmlentities ('Test', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />'; ?>
exactly as first entered.

Correct output:
$ php t.php
Test †<br />Test
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2007-12-10 10:01:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Seems to work fine for me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ php t.php
Test †<br />Test[
Please try on command line.

Description:
------------
A string which includes the dagger symbol that is processed with
htmlentities() with UTF-8 as the encoding results in the whole string
being discarded and appearing as blank.
This is definitely a change in PHP 5.2.5. Tested on both Windows and
Linux machines.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php echo htmlentities ('Test ', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '<br />' .
htmlentities ('Test', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
Test
Test
[This is indeed the result as expected, on PHP v.5.2.4]
Actual result:
--------------
Test
[Blank line at start]
