Problem with entities in the title of a page

I wanted to have a word with the Czech character ř, that's ř, in the heading for my site. I write it in the appropriate box in general settings, it automatically converts it to ř and in MySQL it's also stored like that, but when the page loads, & is substituted by & in the sourcecode and therefore ř isn't evaluated right, but it ends up being ř as text. (& is printed out instead of &, but of course & doesn't make it in time to be used to start the entity.)

If anybody could help I'd be sure grateful!

P.S. Probably if I changed the encoding in MySQL and wrote ř directly there it would work, but people would have to use that encoding as well and people don't tend to use ISO-8859-2 or Windows-1250 as default.

Ok sorry then... english seems wierd sometimes...
Even though I might stick to saying it with a ks, but that doesn't change anything about XOOPS being so brilliant as it is!

Everybody around me tends to say it just the way you write it XOOPS - ksoops, just like xylophone, and I find it quite normal.
When I read here that you're supposed to say zoops, I just thought what the ...
I just can't find any logical reason why it is supposed to be pronunced like that. And when it stands for eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System, why is the eX tranformed into a Z?

Thanks
