title: Encoding problem (UTF-8) in PHP
body: <p>I want to output the following string in PHP:</p>
  
  <p>ä ö ü ß €</p>
  
  <p>Therefore, I've encoded it to utf8 manually:</p>
  
  <p>Ã¤ Ã¶ Ã¼ ÃŸ Â€</p>
  
  <p>So my script is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
  echo 'Ã¤ Ã¶ Ã¼ ÃŸ Â€';
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first 4 characters are correct (ä ö ü ß) but unfortunately the € sign isn't correct:</p>
  
  <p>ä ö ü ß </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://wp1080088.wp029.webpack.hosteurope.de/utf8.php" rel="noreferrer">Here you can see it.</a></p>
  
  <p>Can you tell me what I've done wrong? My editor (Notepad++) has settings for Encoding (Ansi/UTF-8) and Format (Windows/Unix). Do I have to change them?</p>
  
  <p>I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!</p>
