Summary0024353: mb_internal_encoding no longer being set because of removal utf8 library
Description

MantisBT team has made mbstring a requirement. This has resulted in the deletion of this utf-8 folder
https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/tree/master-2.12/library/utf8
https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/tree/master-2.13/library

I believe this has resulted in the loss of some important code since this line is now not being executed anywhere in MantisBT
https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/master-2.12/library/utf8/utf8.php#L41
This is resulting in MantisBT installations using other charsets for mbstring conversions

If MantisBT is setting the internal encoding charset differently these days i would really like to know so that i can adjust EmailReporting accordingly

I think this explains it http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.default-charset
User Joterini who posted the issue in forum is using PHP 5.5.9.

So we have to reintroduce mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); at least as long as we support PHP 5.5.

In my opinion longer since a default value does not guarantee that will actually be the value

On the other hand MantisBT requires UTF-8 without exception

You are right, change mode is PHP_INI_ALL, so the option can be set anywhere.

Another option could be to check the right setting just during installation and when running admin/check/index.php.
Not sure if it's worth the effort, as the call of mb_internal_encoding during runtime should be no big performance deal and is the safest way to fix it.
