WordPress plugins frequently deal with text from CSV, XML, REST, emails, prompts, and external APIs. This skill provides guidance to validate, scrub, preserve, or reject invalid UTF-8 sequences to avoid data corruption and display issues.
Process an imported text payload by validating, scrubbing, or preserving UTF-8 bytes according to the boundary rules.

To validate UTF-8 text in WordPress plugins, use wp_is_valid_utf8() to detect invalid bytes before storage. This prevents data corruption and display issues when handling text from external sources like REST payloads or CSV imports.
The best way to scrub invalid UTF-8 sequences from CSV and XML imports is applying wp_scrub_utf8(). This sanitizes data for safe display while preserving the original text whenever necessary to avoid downstream encoding errors.
Decide whether to reject, scrub, or preserve invalid UTF-8 bytes in REST payloads by leveraging wp_check_invalid_utf8() and noncharacter checks. Apply boundary-aware rules across XML, JSON, and feeds to prevent data loss.
Yes, WordPress provides built-in functions to check for invalid UTF-8 in emails and logs. You can apply wp_is_valid_utf8() and wp_check_invalid_utf8() across imported text, API payloads, and log entries to ensure data integrity.
Your WordPress plugin displays garbled text from legacy CSV feeds because of invalid UTF-8 sequences. Applying wp_scrub_utf8() sanitizes the imported data for safe display, preventing encoding errors downstream.
