How can the encoding of ODBC be influenced in PHP to ensure proper handling of special characters?

When working with ODBC in PHP, special characters can sometimes cause encoding issues. To ensure proper handling of special characters, you can set the character encoding in the ODBC connection string using the "charset" parameter. This will help ensure that special characters are properly encoded and decoded. 

$dsn = "Driver={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPassword; charset=UTF-8";
$conn = odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $password);
