Another theoretical approach, given the grey areas, would be to add a
field to your table to indicate these "special" users. I would call
the field "is_awesome" and have it default to zero, because that's
just the way it is. Then you can make your query "SELECT * FROM users
WHERE is_awesome=1".
You could store the accented characters in your DB if you set
everything to UTF-8, including calling the "SET NAMES utf8" MySQL
command after connecting. I find this much easier than
encoding/decoding.

html_entity_decode(). Does an HTML "entity" refer to an HTML code

I'm getting the same results with that.
This info might be helpful. If I copy and paste the example from the

$orig = "I'll \"walk\" the dog now";

$b = html_entity_decode($a);
