The problem happened with RSS 2.0, I don't know if it can help you...

I believe that's because the return values are UTF-8 encoded
(the default within PHP's DOM and the encoding specified by
your feed) but PHP doesn't set the content type of the
returned page automatically.

You could either send an http header or meta tag to indicate
that the content is utf-8, eg:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/
html;charset=UTF-8">

or you can use utf8_decode on the returned value to convert
it into the appropriate character set, eg:

print utf8_decode($entry->content);

If there's sufficient demand, I'll consider adding an
optional 'decode utf8' parameter to determine how the parser
returns values.
