I'm trying to save string to a file but we're getting a ? instead of the char.
What would be the best way of being able to save chars like "È" to a file as a readable char.
And also being able to html_decode($str) the string in php?
--UPDATE -----
adding "mysql:charset=utf8mb4;" to the PDO database connection fixed the problem.
-- STILL ENCOUNTERING PROBLEMS --
even though when I echo the string to the terminal now I can see it properly in the terminal. But once I save it to the file I get this:
CAF\u00c9
-- FILE SAVE EXAMPLE --
$jsonStr = '';
... process to query db and get string with utf-8 connection
and loop over all results and append a json_encoded string to each new line
loop start
$jsonStr .= json_encode($array) . "\n";
loop end
file_put_contents($path, $jsonStr);
-- ANSWER --
json_encode needs the "JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE" flag as a second param

Decoding "=C3=A4" in a string

Receiving e-mails, I end up with "complete from strings" such as this one:
$test = '=?UTF-8?Q?Test=C3=B6p?= <no-reply#Testöp.tld>';
How do I get rid of the "=?UTF-8?" nonsense? Obviously I don't mean to just string-replace it, but to convert it properly to an actual UTF-8 string. It's supposed to be something like:
$test = 'Testöp <no-reply#Testöp.tld>';
I don't know why I get this in the first place, but I bet there is a simple function to do it somewhere in PHP.
Note: It's not utf8_decode()! That one does nothing to that string!

UTF-8 all the way through

Okay, something went wrong in our database and now all the content from Chinese, Turkish etc. language is messed up (wrong characters). I'm trying to create a PHP script to convert it. Yes, SET NAMES utf8 is executed, everything is utf8mb4_general_ci and the PDO connection has charset utf8.
For example, we got the following text:
Bizimle iletişime geçin
Which is supposed to be:
Bizimle iletişime geçin
Now, if I display the output from the database, it displays the first line what we got in our database (Bizimle iletişime geçin). Then, I use this line:
die(utf8_decode('Bizimle iletişime geçin'));
The output of it is:
Bizimle ileti�?ime geçin
So the ç gets decoded correctly but the ş doesn't.
I tried going to an online utf8-decoder (https://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/unicode-decoder/utf8-decoder) and if I try to decode ÅŸ it does show the ş correctly.

I have the following function;
function generateFirstName(){
$firstNameArray = array("Thomáš ","Lukáš ");
$firstNameKey = mt_rand(0,1);
$firstName = $firstNameArray[$firstNameKey];
return $firstName;
}
When the function is called on the same page the UTF-8 format outputs fine, but when it is called from a functions.php (that is REQUIRED in the INCLUDED head.php) the UTF-8 format doesn-t arrive and i get the dreaded black diamond with white question mark.
What do I need to do to pass the strings?
Check every required or included files encoding. They all must be in UTF-8 to work together. You have to be sure about every file, that can be included from functions.php and other files.
Each file must be encoded in utf8

im having a string like this which im trying to save to my mysql database
$str = "The size id 9” x 12” and some other";
here the ” is not the regular "
Its a part of an Ajax response,In the php side this is what im using
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
echo $this->_helper->json(array("string is" => $str));
My but console shows 9[a sqaure box] x 12[a square box] //actually a square box cant able to paste it
And im saving this string to my database which has the charset utf8mb4 which is also not correct (ignores the ” in the table while saving)
Can somebody show me which charset i need to use for both showing in html and saving in mysql
utf8_encode will do the trick.
Then utf8_decode when you print.

I need help with encoding :(
I have parsed string from site: Ëè÷íûå âñòðå÷è
My site is in UTF-8 encoding.
How to convert parsed string to encoding of my site?
On this site artlebedev.ru/tools/decoder
When I click on "Расшифровать" button, I get right result: Личные встречи.
this does not work you say?
echo iconv("iso-8859-5","utf-8","Ëè÷íûå âñòðå÷è");
then are you sure your file is utf8 also?
try this
echo iconv("cp1251","utf8",iconv("utf8","cp1252","Ëè÷íûå âñòðå÷è"));
