How do I convert \u20B9 to the symbol ₹ in PHP?
I tried utf8_decode() but it is returning the same string.

Upgrade to php 7 and you *(in most situations)* no longer have to worry about all of this unicode stuff. ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/34404876/797620 – Abela Nov 10 '16 at 05:50

You can use json_decode method because JSON directly supports the \uxxxx syntax
$unicodeChar = '\u20B9';
echo json_decode('"'.$unicodeChar.'"');
For more reference try this link - http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

1You **need** or you "can"? To my knowledge there are multiple methods to do this. – Xorifelse Nov 10 '16 at 05:43
