PHP utf8_encode() Function
Definition and Usage
The utf8_encode() function encodes an ISO-8859-1 string into UTF-8.
Unicode is a global standard that has developed to be able to describe characters in all languages through unique encoding, as well as a large number of symbols.
However, it is not always reliable to pass Unicode characters between computers. UTF-8 can be used to transmit Unicode characters between computers.
If successful, the function will return the encoded string; otherwise, it will return false.
