\Nano4\UtilsUTF8XML

Convert everything from UTF-8 into an NCR[numeric character reference]

Borrowed from http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php Thanks to user "montana" for this unique solution.

This has been enhanced with several extra features as were required during development of systems using Unicode with XML.

I've also reformatted and renamed all of the original methods.
