title: Zend_Layout doesn't appear to be encoding content as UTF-8
body: <p>I am using the MVC functionality in the Zend Framework 1.9, and it appears that Zend_Layout is not encoding the view content using UTF-8, despite this being set in the heading.</p>
  
  <p>The layout script is shown below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
      &lt;head&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;headTitle(); ?&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;headMeta(); ?&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;headLink(); ?&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;headScript(); ?&gt;
      &lt;/head&gt;
      &lt;body&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;£ $ &amp;pound;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;layout()-&gt;content;  ?&gt;
      &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The view script can be found below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;£ $ &amp;pound;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the layout, the pound symbol outputs as you would expect, but it doesn't render inside the actual view.</p>
  
  <p>If I remove the layout and just output the view, it comes out fine. Also if I put the $this->layout()->content inside utf8_encode it all works dandy.</p>
  
  <p>I just want to know if there is a way to fix this issue IN the Zend Framework.</p>
