Hello and welcome!

You must use UTF-8 encoding, or it will not work (enabling html is not 
necessary). See for more information:

  http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UTF-8
  http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/UTF-8
  
Note that UTF-8 support was greatly enhanced in version 2.2.0-beta30, that is, 
from the "beta" series. If you use the latest "stable" 2.1.27, there is a fix 
you can apply, read http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AsSpacedFunctionInUTF-8

Good luck,
