How do I force dreamweaver to encode PHP files properly?

Often times when I re-open a php document that has emoji characters inside of it, they turn into non-emoji codes. I've set preferences for new document creation to be UTF-8, and for it to apply to opening existing documents - but it hasn't helped. Anyone have a suggestion?

How can it be in this day and age when it comes to UTF-8 Dreamweaver is so stupid?

<?php
	echo "\u{1F603}";
?>

you will find the emoticon list here

https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

and then in exemple

use U+1F606 as \u{1F606}

Hmm, why would that be a requirement, though? I can paste the characters directly from emojipedia and they echo fine in-browser when I PUT the file. In TextEditor they show up fine when I open the php file, too. The primary issue is that they do not ALWAYS show up fine in dreamweaver, and when dreamweaver fails to render them I cannot paste the emoji character from emojipedia directly. This is a dreamweaver issue only when re-opening documents, too - not when I put the emoji in a fresh document.

Could you create a new document complete with the echo statement. Then copy the code and place it here so that we can see what is going on under the hood.
