How can the editor settings impact the character encoding of PHP scripts and what steps should be taken to ensure consistency with UTF-8 encoding?

The editor settings can impact the character encoding of PHP scripts by saving the file in a different encoding than UTF-8, which can lead to issues with special characters. To ensure consistency with UTF-8 encoding, set the editor to save files in UTF-8 format and check that the PHP scripts have the correct encoding declaration at the beginning of the file. 

<?php
// Ensure UTF-8 encoding in PHP scripts
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
