title: PHP encoding with DOMDocument
body: <pre><code>&lt;tag&gt;
  Алекс М
  &lt;/tag&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to get the content of the following code using DOMDocument functions, it returns something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ÐÐ»ÐµÐºÑ Ðœ
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried setting DOMDocument encoding to different values (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1), using mb_convert_encoding, iconv and utf8_encode but without success. </p>
  
  <p>How can I get "Алекс М" instead of "ÐÐ»ÐµÐºÑ Ðœ" ?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The input is coming from a page loaded with curl. When I output the page content to my browser, the characters are displayed correctly (so I doubt the input is the problem).</p>
