PHP Curl return character [duplicate]

Question

I'm doing a curl request and I'm getting this reply:-

Expected : "£12709"

Got : "Â£12709"

I have no clue what "Â" this character is.

Do you get that when sending a request outside of PHP? I'm assuming youre not using utf-8. Try curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING ,""); — Devon Bessemer

This is probably UTF-8 data wrongly being interpreted as ISO-8859-1. You could use utf8_decode to decode it properly. — Freyja
