title: Accept line break and special characters in a text area
body: <p>This qeustion seems simple but i loss lot of my time playing with it.</p>
  
  <p>My requirement is simple i want a text area that supports line break i.e if a user enters(line break) and again types some text.When this value is stored in database and if i want to display that text on some page than it should exactly display with same formatting as entered.</p>
  
  <p>Also the text area should support some special characters like this text <strong>mofrém</strong>.Here these characters are displayed as boxes.</p>
  
  <p>Using tinymce is an option i guess, but is there any simpler solution? Can these text be manipulated using php?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
