What is the default charset for html_entity_decode in PHP?

The default charset for html_entity_decode in PHP is ISO-8859-1. If you are working with a different charset, you may need to specify it explicitly to ensure proper decoding of HTML entities. To solve this issue, you can include the optional parameter $charset in the html_entity_decode function to specify the charset being used in your HTML entities. 

// Specify the charset explicitly when using html_entity_decode
$decoded_string = html_entity_decode($encoded_string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
