What could be causing issues with UTF-8 encoded XML files in PHP scripts?

Issues with UTF-8 encoded XML files in PHP scripts can arise due to incorrect handling of character encoding. To solve this, you can explicitly set the character encoding to UTF-8 when reading or writing XML files in PHP using functions like `mb_convert_encoding()` or setting the `encoding` attribute in `SimpleXMLElement`. 

// Example PHP code snippet to handle UTF-8 encoded XML files
$xmlString = file_get_contents('example.xml');

// Convert XML string to UTF-8 encoding
$xmlString = mb_convert_encoding($xmlString, 'UTF-8', 'auto');

// Load XML string into SimpleXMLElement
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);

// Now you can work with the XML data
foreach ($xml->children() as $child) {
    // Process XML data
}
