Try this PHP function where you simply pass in the array you wish encoded.

function convertArrayKeysToUtf8(array $array) { 
$convertedArray = array(); 
foreach($array as $key => $value) { 
  if(!mb_check_encoding($key, 'UTF-8')) $key = utf8_encode($key); 
  if(is_array($value)) $value = $this->convertArrayKeysToUtf8($value); 

  $convertedArray[$key] = $value; 
} 
return $convertedArray; 
  } 

P.s check out php.net for other utf-8 encoding method ideas, but this has worked for me in the past.
