What are some common issues with UTF-8 output in PHP scripts, and how can they be resolved?

Issue: Common issues with UTF-8 output in PHP scripts include encoding problems, such as displaying special characters incorrectly or not at all. This can be resolved by ensuring that the PHP script itself is encoded in UTF-8, setting the correct content type header, and using functions like mb_internal_encoding() and mb_http_output() to handle UTF-8 encoding. 

// Set UTF-8 encoding for PHP script
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
mb_http_output('UTF-8');
