How to fix encoding: It’s

Question

I have a string from the woot.com API () such as

addslashes(html_entity_decode(mb_convert_encoding($woot->teaser, "UTF-8")))

The problem is that it still turns out like That not-too-distant future? It’s been over twenty years.

I can't seem to fix the encoding issue... any suggestions on how to fix?
