UTF-8 special character produce an error in templates

[techws-dev]

I upgraded to new version of Grav, and I have this error in some of my pages:

iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string

I use utf-8 smileys in my pages, and a recent change in /system/src/Grav/Common/Helpers/Truncator.php is now throwing this error.

Yes, i'm aware and currently looing for a solution. I tried the recommended replacement for mb_convert_encoding() with HTML_ENTITIES, as it's deprecated in PHP 8.2 and being removed in PHP 9. Unfortunately it doesn't work with extended characters such as smiley's and some other UTF-8 chars such as ⌘.

I will get a patched released out ASAP.

please try replacing line 147 of the Truncator.php file with:

$html = mb_encode_numericentity($html, [0x80, 0x10FFFF, 0, ~0], 'UTF-8');
