The fix for this bug has been committed.
If you are still experiencing this bug, try to check out latest source from https://github.com/php/php-src and re-test.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
This is available now via the newly introduced DOM classes DOM\HTMLDocument and DOM\XMLDocument in
PHP-8.4-dev. They have an argument to override the encoding.

This will be fixed when this RFC is accepted & implemented: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/domdocument_html5_parser

Any plan to fix this real old bug?
1. loadHTML should be always UTF-8 as default, like DOMDocument self is.
2. If user give charset in DOMDocument::__construct(), then loadHTML should to be use it.
3. If imported HTML contains charset, then use it.
Maybe this kind of change not broke the world?

Not a solution, but likely a viable workaround would be prepending
the HTML string with a BOM ("\xef\xbb\xbf" for UTF-8), see

Prefixing does not work.
The default input encoding of DOMDocument is IS-8859-1 contrary to the documentation that says the
input should be UTF-8 encoded.
If you prefix your document with "<?xml â¦", it will change mode to UTF-8
regardless of encoding specified in the XML declaration, and mangle the declaration itself.

In short, DOMDocument is largely unusable for HTML, only well-formed XML with explicit declaration
gives you a small hope of success.

This really does need to be supported. Though libxml2 is partly to blame for ignoring <meta
charset="utf-8">
For now, workaround is to prefix the HTML with either
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
or
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
