Exotic character encoding error in the DCR dropdown

Hi,

TS 6.7.1
FormAPI

I am trying to write the script which can handle the html that has exotic characters like.
Ü (Ü)

The script grab the values from the DB & show for the selection in one of the field drop down.

I am using HTML::Entities (encode_string) to handle the special chatracters
but seems its breaking at characters such as above "Ü" (Ü). Basically it does convert to (Ü) but breaks during substituion. Its expecting to be converted further to "& amp;Uuml;". My worry is if I just substitue "&" to "& amp;" it will break the other regular conversions.

Can somebody refresh my memory how can we handle this?

Thanks
