[EventCalendar] ec3_get_events() not translating ampersands into character entities

[ejm]

Update...

In eventcalendar3 > template-functions.php  I now have replaced

$data['TITLE'] = $entry->post_title;

with

$data['TITLE'] = 'Subject: '.htmlentities($entry->post_title);

This shows "Subject:" in front of each title and the ampersands are
changed to their character entities but it produces the following
message when trying to validate the page:

..............................................
 Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 619  it
contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8  (in
other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified
Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the
character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\x80" does not map to Unicode

P.S. In an effort to keep spammers at bay, I would prefer that the
address of the peacemakers wordpress site NOT be made into a link for
these archives.
