Substring PHP cuts accents formatting

I'm facing an issue while executing this code with an utf-8 charset substr($row['titol'], 0, 50)

As soon as I encounter a letter with an accent in the last position of the string (or it seems like that) where I cut, it loses the "character information" for that accent printing me an "?" instead of the proper letter.

Ie: If my cutting position ends in "... somethingà" it would show "... something?"

as you can see, the accent is in the last char and gets weridly treated

here I deleted part of the title and it shows just fine

Try with mb_substr.

replace your code portion

substr($row['titol'], 0, 50)

to 

mb_internal_encoding(“UTF-8”)    // Optional
mb_substr($row['titol'], 0, 50)
