Question

I have tons of email in my inbox (mostly spam), I have a php script that reads email all of these emails and put them in different folders (I have a custom php email reader using the imap php functions).

My problem is this:

Some emails have weird characeters in it, here is a sample:
Search Engine Marketing will increase your companyâ<80><99>s online presence through comprehensive online marketing campaigns

I can convert the â without any problems, but as you can see I have <80><99> chars, how can I go about converting them?

Use iconv to convert from one encoding to another.
