PHP83 doesn't handle multi-byte encoded XML correctly.

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Thank you for your advice.

> did you install php-mbstring ?

Yes. I always install it. That doesn't affect the problem.

Just to be clear, adding the following header also has
no effect on the results:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

By the way, is this problem reproducible in your environment?
I'd like to know that first though.
