What is the recommended way to save PHP script files when converting to UTF-8?

When converting PHP script files to UTF-8, it is recommended to use a text editor that supports UTF-8 encoding to ensure that special characters are properly preserved. Additionally, it is important to save the file with UTF-8 encoding without a Byte Order Mark (BOM) to prevent any issues with the PHP parser. This can be done by selecting the UTF-8 encoding option without BOM in the text editor's save dialog.
