Show all headers | View raw

I have a field (from DB) that contains
Andr%C3%A9
I would like to show it as
André
I'm very poor in php, but after much googling my "best" is the following
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- html lang="en" -->
<html>
    <head>
       <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
    </head>
    <body>
<?php
$t="Andr%C3%A9";
echo (utf8_decode("$t")."<br>\n");
echo ("I would expect:André:<br>");
?>
    </body>
</html>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:-(
Can someone help me ?
TIA
