There is an elementary code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  
  <form action="index.php" >
  <label>Введите строку: <input name="string" type="text"></label>
  
  <input type="submit" value="Проверить">
  </form>

  <?php
    $string = $_REQUEST["string"];

    echo $string[0];
  ?>

  
</body>
</html>

But the problem is that if you enter a string in Russian, then an incomprehensible question mark is displayed. Encoding UTF-8, the browser also displays in this encoding. It looks like it's in php. How to get rid of it? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

<php?=> <?php
Unless you're going to get the first character of the string, of course.
