I can display spanish characters such as é just fine in the html of a view, but when I try to include spanish characters in the CMenu it shows the html entity code instead of the desired character.
Here is my code:
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu',array(
'activeCssClass'=>'active',
'activateParents'=>true,
'items'=>array(
array(
'label'=>'Inicio',
'url'=>array('/site/index')
),
array(
'label'=>"Quiénes Somos",
'url'=>array('/site/aboutus')
),
),);
