How can DOMDocument be instructed to recognize UTF-8 encoding in the HTML content being loaded?

When loading HTML content using DOMDocument in PHP, it may not recognize UTF-8 encoding by default, leading to character encoding issues. To instruct DOMDocument to recognize UTF-8 encoding in the HTML content being loaded, you can set the internal encoding to UTF-8 before loading the content. 

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->encoding = 'UTF-8';
$doc->loadHTML('<?xml encoding="UTF-8">' . $htmlContent);
