Are there specific PHP functions or libraries recommended for converting ISO-8859 encoded characters in PHP?

When dealing with ISO-8859 encoded characters in PHP, one recommended approach is to use the `mb_convert_encoding()` function from the `mbstring` extension. This function allows you to convert strings from one character encoding to another, including converting ISO-8859 encoded characters to UTF-8, which is a more widely supported character encoding in modern web applications. 

// Example of converting ISO-8859 encoded string to UTF-8
$iso8859String = "ISO-8859 encoded string";
$utf8String = mb_convert_encoding($iso8859String, 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1');

echo $utf8String;
