Unicode character in PHP string

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"');

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.

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)

Those are called diacritics (or accents). The process of converting some text from one script to another (e.g. one with diacritics to one without) is called transliteration and PHP has a module for performing it.
You probably want something like:
transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII', $your_input);

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);
