Accents are encoded using ampersand eacute despite proper UTF8 charset being used

[benjamin74]

Expected behaviour and actual behaviour

Chars like accents é è, etc... should appear like that in html, not encoded with the AMPERSAND EACUTE encoding.

Steps to reproduce the problem

I simply had created pages with accents in words... after initial saving accents were correct, i.e. not using the AMPERSAND EACUTE syntax.

After installing the plugin and doing some small modification to the pages, all pages have been reincoded using ampersand eacute syntax instead of UTF8 accents like é è etc
