Well, apparently these characters are invalid UTF-8 sequences, so trying
to convert them to another character encoding is likely to fail.
I'm not aware of a PHP function to strip invalid UTF-8 sequences that is
built-in to PHP or one of the common extensions, but there are userland
solutions available, for instance, utf8_bad_strip()[1].
