Sounds like the string was never marked as Unicode to begin with,
in which case encode_entities() sees the two bytes as two
characters.

Questions to investigate:

1. Is the input string a Unicode or 8-bit string?

2. Is the string that comes back from SQLite a Unicode or 8-bit
   string?

3. If the string that comes back from SQLite is a Unicode string,
   is it double-encoded, or is it correct?
