The Windows app sends three UTF-8 encoded characters. The PHP $_GET
array only returns two, one being dropped by PHP because it considers
out-of-range characters (in its ISO-8859-1 mind) incorrect.

My script needs to accept arbitrary UTF-8 sequences but PHP drops these
characters because it (correctly, in its ISO-8859-1 mind) thinks they
are invalid. But in the UTF-8 system, they are valid.

I need a way to tell PHP that the sequence is UTF-8 before I access it.
As soon as my script reads something that PHP considers ISO-8859-1, the
damage is done. iconv back to UTF-8 won't help me, I cannot unscramble
scrambled eggs.
