title: How to properly display Chinese characters in PHP?
body: <p>I have these Chinese characters:</p>
  
  <pre><code>汉字/漢字''test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do </p>
  
  <pre><code>echo utf8_encode($chinesevar);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it displays</p>
  
  <pre><code>??/??''test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or even if I just do a simple</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo $chinesevar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it still displays some weird characters...</p>
  
  <p>So how am I going to display these Chinese characters without using the &lt;meta> tag with the UTF-8 thingy .. or the ini_set UTF-8 thing or even the header() thing with UTF-8?</p>
