Ok, thank’s for the tip – I’m learning as I go.

Ok, I think I have now resolved this (typical!)
Our default mbstring configuration in the server level php.ini must have been incomplete, adding the following and restarting the service resolved the issue:
default_charset = “utf-8”
mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8
mbstring.http_output=UTF-8
mbstring.encoding_translation=On
mbstring.func_overload=6
Maybe this will help someone else… ?
