Hey there!

I tested this with the value you provided and I can't reproduce the error (also see #1032)

It seems this could have to do something with character encoding issues of the $content passed into your method, could you try hardcoding the value in your code and checking if that still doesn't work? If it doesn't, perhaps it's the encoding of the source code file.

I web-searched the error message and you don't seem to be alone in this.
