We are now working on this problem. Currently our XML format doesn't support html entities.
But there is a good common way to solve the problem: use a unicode(utf-8) coding on your site and just insert any characters in OE. For example you can paste them from any character map utility ('charmap' under Linux).
More about Unicode in eZ publish you can read here http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/unicode_with_ez_publish
Sorry, but there is no other way for now. Our core development team decided not to support html entities by now, because they are not supported by the kernel. So, you can use only characters that fit your current codepage, utf-8 is the correct choice for this situation.
By the way, I think that mySQL 4.0 supports utf-8 too, it just doesn't support automatic encoding/decoding. So I think it could work on 4.0 or even earlier.
it seems to work with 4.0.x too! I can now use the "Omega"-Charakter in online editor!
But there is one problem: My old content does not show the the german charakters after switching the database. Anyplace a german charakter used to be there is now a "?"
