Are there specific considerations to ensure Umlauts display correctly in ImageTTFText when using PHP?

When using ImageTTFText in PHP to display text that includes Umlauts (such as ä, ö, ü), it's important to ensure that the font being used supports these characters. Additionally, you may need to set the correct encoding for the text being displayed to UTF-8 to ensure proper rendering of Umlauts. 

// Set the correct content type and encoding
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

// Load a font that supports Umlauts
$font = 'path/to/your/font.ttf';

// Create a new image
$image = imagecreate(400, 200);

// Set the background and text colors
$bgColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
$textColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);

// Set the text to be displayed
$text = 'Möglichkeiten';

// Add the text to the image using the specified font and size
imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 10, 50, $textColor, $font, $text);

// Output the image
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
