title: Euro (html special char) sign in selenium / phpunit?
body: <p>I work on Windows 7, with phpunit &amp; selenium &amp; Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>I have this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$value1 = $this-&gt;getText("//div[@id= bla bla");
  $this-&gt;assertEquals($value1, "\u20AC 1,12");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>\u20AC</code> should be the Euro sign. I've also tried <code>&amp;euro;</code>,  <code>&amp;#8364;</code>,  <code>&amp;#x20ac;</code>, but phpunit keeps giving an error, expecting some impossible character combination.</p>
  
  <p>Printing <code>$value1</code> gives me the same weird combination. </p>
  
  <p>Anybody knows of a way to use, check on HTML special characters or which charset I should/could use?</p>
