Why does my Regex breaking special character in PHP?

Answer 1

If you set your character encoding right, there is no issue. See your code run on eval.in .

Make sure to have this in your html document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
     <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>

And also save your PHP file as UTF-8 encoded. Depending on your editor this might be an option in the "Save As" dialog, or under the "preferences" or "options" menu.
