Character encoding weird problem

I have set utf8 character encoding correctly and everything seems to be working fine. but I have a strange problem:

when page first loads I see none english characters correctly. after page is being reloaded or I move to another page, characters also apear correctly, but when I view the source of the page the charcters are converted to entities. for example:

&# 1490;&# 1497;&# 1488;

(I made the space between the # and the number delibertly to prevent it from being presented as a letter ...).

Of course that the HTML can be viewed properly, but when I want to pass value to fields using javascript things are getting problematic.

Has anyone encounted such problem ?
