UTF-8 characteres not showing correctly

[siempay]

I am using this
SEOMeta::setDescription("les entreprises dans leur quête de performance, grâce à ses solutions d’amélioration de la qualité de vie et de fidélisation des salariés");

but I get this in page source code:
<meta name="description" content="les entreprises dans leur qu&ecirc;te de performance, gr&acirc;ce &agrave; ses solutions d&rsquo;am&eacute;lioration de la qualit&eacute; de vie et de fid&eacute;lisation des salari&eacute;s">

Same here...

@reasecret, the problem looks like it is coming from this {!! SEO::generate() !!}.
this displays HTML Code in blade but it parse the non-UTF8 characters
So a better way is to change this {!! SEO::generate() !!} to {!!html_entity_decode(SEO::generate())!!}

I've removed htmlentities function from SEOMeta.php (on line 254). Now looks like no problem for me.

dose'nt it should stay there ?

For Solutions:

/vendor/artesaos/seotools/SEOMeta.php Line: 254
$this->description = (false == $description) ? $description : strip_tags(htmlentities($description));
change this:
$this->description = (false == $description) ? $description : strip_tags(html_entity_decode($description));

/vendor/artesaos/seotools/OpenGraph.php Line: 834

return $this->addProperty('description', htmlentities($description));

change this:
return $this->addProperty('description', html_entity_decode($description));

/vendor/artesaos/seotools/TwitterCards.php Line: 136

return $this->addValue('description', htmlentities($description));

change this:

return $this->addValue('description', html_entity_decode($description));

I did as you suggested just added a flag ENT_NOQUOTES
