I'm going with B. The header function clearly specifies ISO-8859-1, so the Unicode characters should display correctly. Easy peasy!

Woah, this question is really testing our understanding of character encoding. I hope the exam has more questions about emojis and cat pictures, that would be much easier!

Hold on, isn't the PHP.ini setting of 'default_charset = utf-8' just a default? Wouldn't the 'header()' function take precedence and override that?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Wouldn't the charset mismatch cause a blank line? The browser might not know how to handle the Unicode characters.

The output will definitely be the three Unicode characters, regardless of the browser. That's the correct answer, right?

I agree with Rickie, it might not display correctly because of the charset difference.
