AIUI form posts are transmitted in the encoding of the HTML page 
containing the form.  If the user supplies a character that can't be 
represented in this encoding, it gets converted on the client side to an 
HTML entity reference.  Look at
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=111

When this issue was filed, Bugzilla was configured to serve pages in 
ISO-8859-1; hence the bug report was mangled, with

#  t ~= "我";

having become

#  t ~= "&#25105;";

Now our Bugzilla is on UTF-8, but this instance remains because it is 
what went through to the server at the time and is therefore stored in 
the database.
