Here is another example:

------------part of fpdoc xml file-----------------------
<module name="gfx_UTF8utils">
<short></short>
<descr>Is this character: <&#x2026;> displayed correctly?
</descr>
-----------------end------------------------

... and the generated html source with UTF-8 encoding ...

------------html source------------------
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Is this character: <?> displayed correctly? </p>
</body>
</html>
----------------end-----------------------

NOTE:
The < and > characters went through fine, but the ellipses character did not.
