if a character is valid ASCII, it is valid UTF-8 there is nothing to convert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

You can use mb_convert_encoding() or iconv() to convert character encoding.

The characters of ASCII are a subset of Unicode and the code words of ASCII are also valid UTF-8. So you need no conversion as every ASCII string is also a valid UTF-8 string (but not vice versa).
