title: Oracle convert to utf8
body: <p>Converting to utf8 in oracle by using the CONVERT function wotks fine only for a caracter "<strong>è</strong>" :</p>
  
  <pre><code>    select convert('è','UTF8') from dual;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the result is "<strong>Ãš</strong>" </p>
  
  <p>If we try to convert with PHP, the result is différent only for this caracter </p>
  
  <pre><code>    echo utf8_encode('è');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it displays "<strong>Ã¨</strong>" and this is the correct result.</p>
  
  <p>I saw the documentation for CONVERT and tried many options with no success.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance</p>
