'json_encode fails because of Unknown charactar

I have this array :

[responses] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => Array
                                (
                                    [date] => 2021-07-09 15:16:53
                                    [text] => [Resume session��%
1 Yes
2 No, CANCEL, SEND]
                                )

                        )

[text] is taken from USSD response and it shows Resume session? on phone but inside the array it is Resume session��%. That's where json_encode fails.

How to fix that !?

php


Solution 1:[1]

This is old but I have (the/to) answer.

/** @var array $array the array from question above */
$encoded_array = json_encode($array ,JSON_INVALID_UTF8_IGNORE);

Note : This solution is PHP 7.2 and up .. It removes the invalid character.
