To decode json to chinese:
json_decode('"\ud83d\ude18\ud83d\ude18\ud83d\ude18\ud83d\ude18\u597d\u5bb6\u4f19\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d"');
not works?
It works for chinese but not for smily
can you please give me any idea for it
that's not a valid JSON string -- JSON strings must be inside double quotes
Edit: took the failing example above, wrapped the utf-8 in doublequotes, and it decoded:
var_dump(json_decode('"\ud83c\udf83\ud83c\udf83\ud83c\udf83"'));
string(12) "🎃🎃🎃"
(I don't know what the glyphs should look like, I don't eve know if I have the right fonts installed, but the string decoded)

How can i write a file in PHP with encode ISO-8859-1?
Im using the function
$file = fopen("file.txt", "a");
When the file is created, it appears with encoding UTF-8 and i want it in ISO-8859-1.
UTF-8 supports all the characters found in ISO-8859-1... it's best to stick with UTF-8 as it supports the most amount of characters commonly used and will give you the least amount of problems.

Those are not hex characters, but HTML entities.
PHP can decode them with html_entity_decode().

I'm trying to convert some characters with PHP before inserting to MySQL DB a JSON object with this kind of data:
\u00c9
that means: É
I tried this but it didn't work:
echo utf8_encode(print_r('\u00c9'));
I've read that it's in Unicode but i can't find the way to print it before inserting it. Any ideas?
Take a look at this answer. TL;DR:
echo json_decode('"\u00c9"');

i am not able to upload $what as it is, it throws decode error
I also tried using url_encode, url_decode, htmlspecialcharacters,utf8 etc.,but for no use.
url_encode, url_decode makes it as following:
suggests ?? but not as suggests ‘
What should i do for $what to be as
suggests ‘
Using Hixie’s decoder, it’s easy to check that ‘ is the UTF-8 encoded representation of U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (‘) misinterpreted as separate bytes if were windows-1252 encoded. It’s more difficult to say why this happens—insufficient information about context and code.

How does one remove/replace ” characters from a string?
I've tried html_entity_decode but it don't seem to work. There are other similar characters in the string that don't seem to be converted or removed.
Any ideas?
The issue is that html_entity_decode() doesn't translate numeric entities.
I added an answer to the suggested duplicate How to decode numeric HTML entities in PHP
str_replace(array('”', '”'), '', $thestring);
