It seems that you just forgot to specify the character encoding properly.
Because a€?
is what you get when the character “
(U+201C) encoded in UTF-8 (0xE2809C) is interpreted with a single-byte character encoding like Windows-1252 (default character encoding in some browsers) where 0xE2, 0x80, and 0x9C represent the characters a
, €
, and ?
respectively.
So just make sure to specify your character encoding properly. Or if you actually want to use Windows-1252 as your output character encoding, you can convert your UTF-8 data with mb_convert_encoding
, iconv
or similar functions.
