Comment(by hakre):

 I think it's noteworthy to remind that ''wp_check_invalid_utf8()'' should
 not be used to check wether or not a string is a valid utf8 string. The
 function can lead to false results because it's broken.

 Use ''seems_utf8()'' to verify a string beign properly UTF8 encoded or
 not.
