How can using a Mailer class in PHP improve the handling of special characters like Umlauts in email content?

Special characters like Umlauts can cause encoding issues when sending emails in PHP. By using a Mailer class, we can ensure that the email content is properly encoded to handle special characters, such as converting them to UTF-8 before sending the email. 

<?php
// Include the Mailer class
require 'Mailer.php';

// Create a new instance of the Mailer class
$mailer = new Mailer();

// Set the email content with special characters
$emailContent = "This is a test email with special characters like Ümläüts.";

// Encode the email content to UTF-8
$emailContent = utf8_encode($emailContent);

// Send the email
$mailer->sendEmail('recipient@example.com', 'Subject', $emailContent);
?>
