Comment (by Cyrille37):

 Hello

 With WP 6.5.2

 {{{
 PHP Notice:  iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string
 in /.../wordpress/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 1141
 }}}

 in wp-include/formatting.php line 1141

 {{{#!php
 // Attempt to strip the bad chars if requested (not recommended).
 if ( $strip && function_exists( 'iconv' ) ) {
   return iconv( 'utf-8', 'utf-8', $text );
 }
 }}}

 If the aim is to "**Attempt to strip the bad chars**" perhaps changing to
 "utf-8//IGNORE" or "utf-8//IGNORE" will do the job ?
