I'll investigate further.

If your wiki is in the ISO-8859-1 encoding, that encoding doesn't have all international characters, so the browsers convert the posted foreign characters to their HTML entities.

In this case you can enable UTF-8 in your wikis, but only if your group and page names, as well as upload names, don't contain international characters.

See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UTF-8 .

New, empty wikis can have UTF-8 enabled without a problem.

   PmWiki is able to handle diacritics if they're entered directly
   and not using &#... notation.  See

   <URL:http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/Localization>http://www.pmwiki.org/w iki/Test/Localization

   for a working example.

   I don't think PmWiki should have to be aware of all letterforms
   based on their &#... notation.  Enter the diacritic directly and
   things should work fine (or at least as well as the underlying
   PHP libraries will allow).
