Did you try the following? Not sure if it works, though.

mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-8', 'auto');

Please, use some modified mb_convert_encoding($str, 'UTF-8', mb_detect_encoding($str)) – andrei040191 Feb 25 '19 at 05:52

$file = 'images/да так 1.jpg';//this is in UTF-8, needs to be system encoding (Russian)
$new_filename = mb_convert_encoding($file, "Windows-1251", "utf-8");//turn utf-8 to system encoding Windows-1251 (Russian)

now your russian files should open your russian characters in php are already utf-8 what you need to do is have the name in the same encoding type as your system encoding

or if you need the opposite...

$new_filename = mb_convert_encoding($file, "utf-8", "Windows-1251");
