When using special characters in the block titles (custom blocks or translated titles with the locale module) the characters are mangled in UTF-8 style. Even html special characters (&, <, >, quotes, etc.) are not rendered as they should.

A sample image is attached to this issue. The title of the block should be equal to its contents: àèìòù & '" <>

I haven't been able to find a cause, but it seems like conversions being done twice.
Hopefully someone else has a clue about this.....

Greetings, Danny

Sorry about any wasted time on this issue...
