PHP - character encoding

Is it possible to convert 开发者_JAVA技巧Aoibhín back to Aoibhín ? If it is how can it be done?

Thanks in advance!

I am assuming this is the result of some operation where there was a mix-up between ISO-8859-1 (or a similar encoding) and UTF-8.

If at all possible, try re-importing the data with the correct character set settings so the problem doesn't occur in the first place.

Other than that, it may be possible to get the data into the correct form by faking a character set, but to give any advice on that, you need to add details about your situation.

You can try using iconv, it converts from one character encoding to another.
