Hi, so here's a code where I want it to output ƏIŞĞÖÜÇəışğöüç characters. Even I value utf8_encoding true, it does not output them. Any help?

<?php

define('MAGPIE_CACHE_ON', 1); //2.7 Cache Bug

define('MAGPIE_CACHE_AGE', 180);

define('MAGPIE_INPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');

define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');

$twitter_options['widget_fields']['update'] = array('label'=>'Show timestamps:', 'type'=>'checkbox', 'default'=>true);

$twitter_options['prefix'] = 'twitter';



// Display Twitter messages

function twitter_messages($username = '', $num = 1, $list = false, $update = true, $linked  = '#', $hyperlinks = true, $twitter_users = true, $encode_utf8 = true) {



global $twitter_options;

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');



$messages = fetch_rss('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$username.'.rss');



if ($list) echo '<ul class="twitter">';



if ($username == '') {

	if ($list) echo '<li>';

	echo 'RSS not configured';

	if ($list) echo '</li>';

} else {

		if ( empty($messages->items) ) {

			if ($list) echo '<li>';

			if ($list) echo '</li>';

		} else {

    $i = 0;

			foreach ( $messages->items as $message ) {

				$msg = " ".substr(strstr($message['description'],': '), 2, strlen($message['description']))." ";

        } else {

          $msg = $msg . '<a href="'.$link.'" class="twitter-link">'.$linked.'</a>'; // Puts a link to the status of each tweet



        }

      } 



      echo $msg;
