I tried a lot of things, but this seems to be the final fail save method to convert any string to proper UTF-8.

<?php
function _convert($content) {
    if(!mb_check_encoding($content, 'UTF-8') 
        OR !($content === mb_convert_encoding(mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-32', 'UTF-8' ), 'UTF-8', 'UTF-32'))) {

        $content = mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8');

        if (mb_check_encoding($content, 'UTF-8')) {
            // log('Converted to UTF-8');
        } else {
            // log('Could not converted to UTF-8');
        }
    }
}
?>
