FCKEditor may be a better bet, as is TinyMCE

(I do most of my edits in plain text mode - even if the page is html - so I don't encounter these issues much.)
I do not like HTMLarea too, but even the text editor was displaying the special character the next time I opened the product to edit. If I then saved again the problem reappeared, so I guess it was more of an character encoding problem.
