Fix garbled/multiple utf8 encodings applied to a string

Description
-----------

[](#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
