Question

How do I interpret some characters into their proper form in PHP?

For example, the string is \u00c9rwin but PHP print it as Érwin, and the correct form must be Érwin

What is the proper PHP code for this? I am pretty sure this is not an HTML entity, or is it?

P.S. no encoding was declared on the PHP file

Answer 1

add this in header:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

or:

<?php header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
