Decode special character in php

Question

Please tell me. How to decode 飯 in php.

I am getting this value when I am generating XML.

I have used already html_entity_Decode() , htmlspecialchars_decode() but not able to decode it.

It is not the chinese character. on my website it is Décor Items . and I am getting it as D 飯 cor Items

Does any one know how to decode it.

Answer 1

There isn't anything to decode. It's the HTML value for 飯. Just like  

<?php
echo "&#x98EF;";
