How can PHP developers ensure that Umlauts and special characters are properly displayed in UTF-8 encoding?

To ensure that Umlauts and special characters are properly displayed in UTF-8 encoding, PHP developers should make sure that their PHP files are saved in UTF-8 encoding and that their database connection is set to UTF-8. Additionally, they can use the mb_internal_encoding() function to set the internal character encoding to UTF-8. 

// Set the internal character encoding to UTF-8
mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

// Set the database connection to UTF-8
$mysqli->set_charset("utf8");
