What role does the setlocale function play in this scenario and how can it be utilized to address the language display issue?

The issue is related to the language display in a PHP script, where special characters or language-specific characters may not be displayed correctly due to the default locale setting. To address this, the setlocale function can be used to set the desired locale for the script, allowing it to correctly display the language-specific characters.

// Set the desired locale for language display
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');

// Your PHP script code here
// This will ensure that language-specific characters are displayed correctly
