[ic] HTML encode

[vincenker]

I have an HTML encoding problem:
When I center product entry with Chinese (double byte) into database, it
looks fine in table products. Then, I load this product details with
item_edit in Admin backend. The Chinese characters now is in hash codes
like "ÍÖ". 
I think it should have been HTML encoded. How can I do with this then? 
You are appreciated if any directive can be given. 
Thanks a lot!!!
