Encoding Problem (UTF-8) in PHP

Question

I want to output the following line in PHP:

ä ö ü ß €

Therefore, I encoded it in utf8 manually:

ä ö ü ß  €

So my script:

<?php
header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
echo 'ä ö ü ß €';
?>

The first four characters are correct (ä ö ü ß), but unfortunately the “does not match” sign:

ä ö ü ß

Here you can see it.

Can you tell me what I did wrong? My editor (Notepad ++) has settings for encoding (Ansi / UTF-8) and Format (Windows / Unix). Should I change them?

I hope you help me. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This last character is simply not in the file (try looking at the source), so you cannot see it.

Answer 6

it worked for me

    if (mb_check_encoding($value, 'UTF-8')) {
      return $value = utf8_encode($value);  
    }  
    else  {
      return $value;
    }
