screenshot of bug

To recreate:

- add Dutch "dut" to the AdvancedSearchLanguages option
- go to the advanced search page /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
- click open the Language select menu 
- note that the text for Dutch is "nedərlɑns (Dutch)"

It should render as "nedərlɑns (Dutch)" but instead the numerical character
references for the fourth and seventh characters are rendered literally, as if
they were escaped.

I haven't looked into this further so I don't know _why_ this is happening but
Koha's OPAC uses charset=utf-8 so I think we should be able to simply use the
actual characters without any references. Perhaps it's a problem with the
encoding of strings in the database? But when I run a report to pull all the
rows from the `language_descriptions` table, the word "nedərlɑns" renders
correctly.
