Decode string with \x in PHP that has char encoded over 255

My problem is about string decoding.

Let’s assume a string like:

$str = "\xce\xbb\xc6\x9b\xc2\xac\xe2\x88\xa7\xe2\x9f\x91\xe2\x88\xa8\xe2\x9f\x87\xc3\xb7 \xe2\x82\xac\xc2\xbd\xe2\x88\x86\xc3\xb8\xe2\x86\x94\xc2\xa2\xe2\x8c\x90\xc3\xa6";

I want to decode it and to look like that:
λƛ¬∧⟑∨⟇÷ €½∆ø↔¢⌐æ
I tried to use

utf8_encode(utf8_encode($str));

But it’s not what was expected.

In python something like that works:

_str = b"\xce\xbb\xc6\x9b\xc2\xac\xe2\x88\xa7\xe2\x9f\x91\xe2\x88\xa8\xe2\x9f\x87\xc3\xb7 \xe2\x82\xac\xc2\xbd\xe2\x88\x86\xc3\xb8\xe2\x86\x94\xc2\xa2\xe2\x8c\x90\xc3\xa6"
_str = _str.decode()
print(_str)

>Solution :

You don’t need to decode that. This is legal notation for strings in PHP.

$str = "\xce\xbb\xc6\x9b\xc2\xac\xe2\x88\xa7\xe2\x9f\x91\xe2\x88\xa8\xe2\x9f\x87\xc3\xb7 \xe2\x82\xac\xc2\xbd\xe2\x88\x86\xc3\xb8\xe2\x86\x94\xc2\xa2\xe2\x8c\x90\xc3\xa6";
echo $str;  //λƛ¬∧⟑∨⟇÷ €½∆ø↔¢⌐æ
