Well, in my case I had it done previously. But my problem was that I was starting to learn CI and I wasn't sure that Active Record Queries would escape values properly before executing its statements. So I had left some code somewhere to automatically escape string values by calling
, and of course, the result was the substitution of all accented vowels by its corresponding html entities. I had forgotten this piece of code but when I realized of it, I remove it and all worked wonderful.
