characters extended ascii display PHP

Question

I have a code that printing properly ascii character upto 127. But its not printing extended ascii characters properly.

$data = "Two Ts and one F.";
foreach (count_chars($data, 0) as $i => $val) {
   echo "There were $val instance(s) of " , chr($i) , " in the string.<br/>";
}

its output same from 128 to 255 is :

There were 0 instance(s) of � in the string.

I have saved my file in utf-8 encoding

You have saved your file as UTF-8. What does that look like? — halojoy, Dec 26 '17 at 09:30
@Anant singh my question is more focused on encoding concept. — Dhairya Lakhera, Dec 26 '17 at 09:33

I think i got your point, you need to do like this:-

<?php

$data = "Two Ts and one F.";
foreach (count_chars($data, 0) as $i => $val) {
   echo "There were $val instance(s) of ". utf8_encode(chr($i)) ." in the string.".PHP_EOL;
}

@Curious i am unable to say untill i really check that your file is actually `utf-8` encoded or not already. – Alive to die - Anant Dec 26 '17 at 09:49
