Special Characters in Category Names

[code freak]

If you try to put a special character, using the HTML entity, in a category name, it displays the HTML entity code instead of the special character.

If I copy the symbol from somewhere else, such as Microsoft Word, and paste it in the category name, the character shows up correctly.

As a side note, in WP 1.2.1, HTML entities could be used to enter special characters in category names.

The new wp_specialchars usage allows for this.
