将UTF-8欧元字符转换为其他欧元

Question

Somehow there are two different € chars in UTF-8. A correct one U+20AC and latin-1 supplement U+0080.

Using bin2hex I got hex c280 instead of the correct e282ac. Since the first one is not displayed correctly I would like to convert it.

Officiously I can't use utf8_decode() or utf8_encode(). I tried iconv('Windows-1252', 'UTF-8', $x) but that gives me "€" because in Windows-1252 € is 80.

What is the correct converter for this?

Answer 1

Looks like it does work if I convert from utf8_decode back to Windows-1252 and convert to utf8 again using iconv:

iconv('Windows-1252', 'UTF-8', utf8_decode($x));

I guess the string is originally Windows-1252 and was converted utf8_encode what did not work for most but not all characters.
