mysql - PHP remove single-quote in (utf-8?) string

Get the solution ↓↓↓

I want to load strings from a utf-8 mysql tables and compare them to strings which I load from a .csv file in PHP. I have (I assume) an encoding problem and struggle to compare identical strings with a single quote in them. The single quote seems to be different between the strings I loaded from the DB and the one from the .csv file.

for instance:Hello'World has followingbin2hex dump between .csv and the string loaded from a mysql-table

mysql:68656c6c6f[26233033393b]776f726c64

csv: 68656c6c6f776f726c64

It would be fine to just remove the single quote from the mysql string but all attempts toregex it away or dostr_replace failed. Also running explicitutf8_encode/utf8_decode didn't help to get a string that evaluates positive for an equality check but I don't get this string cleaned.

does someone has an idea how to handle the single quote? It would be possible to rebuild the database table in a different encoding (currently its UTF-8) if this would be easier?
