 * I use this to display date on my WordPress website:
 *     ```
        <?php date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Belgrade');
                                           setlocale(LC_ALL, 'SR', 'rs'); echo utf8_decode(ucwords(strftime("%A, %d. %B %Y.")));?>
       ```
   
 * But it does not display č.
 * I tried to change to utf8 in phpmyadmin and it does not work.
 * utf8_decode not working
    utf8_encode not working.

 * Hi,
 * Have you tried to use iconv instead of utf8_decode?
