Fix garbled/multiple utf8 encodings applied to a string

Description

If you apply PHP utf8_encode() multiple times to a string it will result in a garbled string.

Often times there might be cases when first portion of the string is encoded twice and other parts are encoded multiple times.

$garbledString = utf8_encode('Für ') . utf8_encode(utf8_encode('Straße'));
$garbledString = utf8_encode($garbledString);

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2

Usage

<?php
use FixUTF8\Encoding;

Encoding::fixUtf8($garbledString);
