How can PHP scripts be modified to correctly handle special characters in text files?

Special characters in text files can be correctly handled in PHP scripts by using the `utf8_encode()` function to convert the text to UTF-8 encoding before processing it. This ensures that special characters are properly interpreted and displayed. 

// Read the text file and convert its content to UTF-8 encoding
$fileContent = file_get_contents('sample.txt');
$fileContent = utf8_encode($fileContent);

// Process the text content
// Your code here to handle special characters
