Is there a way to read all the files in a directory with umlaut characters using PHP?

For example, in our Directory, we have a file named "Köln.pdf". When we use scandir method, it returns 'K"ln.pdf'.

Is there a way to retrieve the file names with those character? We are using PHP7.2 in Azure App Service.

Thanks, Praveen

@Grabatui, scandir method itself is not returning those characters. So, not sure if it works even if we pass the file names to those other methods – Prawin Aug 30 '19 at 13:06
