title: Latin-1 / UTF-8 encoding php
body: <p>I have a db in UTF-8 encoding with a mixture of Latin-1. (I think that that is the problem)</p>
  
  <p>This is how the characters look in the database.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Ä° (should be İ)
  è
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I set the header to </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then the characters come out as:</p>
  
  <pre><code> İ
   �
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I remove the header, they come out as they are in the database. I want them to come out like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> İ
   è
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a way to remedy this in PHP after the fact, if it is possible. I am unable to correct the data itself at this time, which would be the correct thing to do.</p>
