Unknown characters at the end of base64_decode result in PHP
I'm using PHP IMAP functions to read emails from a remote server. While somebody sends an email through Gmail, the body shows ASCII encoding and as the message is in UTF-8, I had to use base64_decode() to convert it to acceptable result.
The remained problem is showing uknown characters at the end of returned string. It's something like this:
این یک تست هست. ▯
I used different solutions to remove these characters but I was not able to do it. Do you have any practical solution?
Note: I used a variety of encoding conversion functions (like iconv , utf8_encode, etc.) to achieve the UTF-8 equivalent but none of them could not help me to convert ASCII to UTF-8.

the result you show is utf-8 encoding, ends up with '▯', just filter ▯ character with regex, no? or best use whitelist for allowed characters.

I can not be sure what extra character might append to the final string. So your solution is not suitable in my mind
