Hi @sidolov,

This looks great, thank you for your contribution.

I would like to understand more about the significance of the change to mb_encode_numericentity from mb_convert_encoding as this is something that might benefit the repository as a whole. It's new to me so I'll read up how the function works, but if you could enlighten me that would be fantastic.

I'll merge this tomorrow after coffee and make a new v2 release.

Thanks,
Greg.

Hi @g105b!
Thank you for your quick response and the new release!

While upgrading to PHP8.2 we found that usage of HTML-ENTITIES is deprecated in mb_convert_encoding, suggested solution is to use htmlspecialchars and htmlentities instead but we faced a couple of issues by using these functions - some of the special chars weren't properly decoded like ©, ™, some currency symbols, etc.

After some investigation, we decided to switch to mb_encode_numericentity function and map with code area to convert.
Usage of this function helped us to get identical results we had with mb_convert_encoding

I hope it helps!

Fantastic, thanks for the info. I had read similar stories in the notes on the docs page but it's good to understand how it's really being used. Have a great day.
