[alexgit2k]

What is this feature about (expected vs actual behaviour)?

Lines 13303 to 13305 in ce72331

	/** @noinspection PhpUsageOfSilenceOperatorInspection | TODO for PHP > 8.2: find a replacement for this */
	/** @var false|string $str - the polyfill maybe return false */
	$str = @\utf8_encode($str);

Does it take minutes, hours or days to fix?

Minutes. Replacement-functions for utf8_encode are listed here: https://php.watch/versions/8.2/utf8_encode-utf8_decode-deprecated#utf8_encode-replace
