What are some common issues with handling umlauts and special characters in PHP scripts?

Common issues with handling umlauts and special characters in PHP scripts include encoding problems, such as displaying garbled text or incorrectly handling input/output. To solve this, you can set the character encoding to UTF-8 in your PHP script using functions like mb_internal_encoding() and mb_http_output(). 

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