send entity's true query like "é"...

[Tom Brown]

hey
is there a solution for sending entity's like "�" or "& eacute ;" or like the example "& #x00e9 ;" true a query and get the wanted entity in the other page? now i get realy bad code for the "& #x00e9 ;" which is "�".
i've tried some code like %60%70%80%40%30 where %20 is a space but didn't find the requested entity's.
thanks
tom
