utf8_encode - Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8

SYNOPSIS

       string utf8_encode (string  $data)

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	encodes  the  string  $data  to UTF-8, and returns the encoded version.  UTF-8 is a standard mechanism used by Unicode for
       encoding wide character values into a byte stream.  UTF-8 is transparent to plain ASCII characters, is  self-synchronized  (meaning  it	is
       possible  for a program to figure out where in the bytestream characters start) and can be used with normal string comparison functions for
       sorting and such. PHP encodes UTF-8 characters in up to four bytes, like this:
