Encryption Service - broken characters

Hello guys, I need help with the problem what i got.
When using the Encryption service and encrypt some data i always got improperly encoded characters.

For example

Code:

<a href="" charset="UTF-8" data-text="<?= $encrypter->encrypt(10) ?>">test</a>

produce

Code:

<a href="" charset="UTF-8" data-text="�c�NK���a�ǃ���:�0��8�m���v��C7��M�Y���v]s*���BL��t��M��Y����<c����I1�1�z�">test</a>

I´m using CI4 rc3 with config set to utf-8,PHP 7.2.26 running on localhost, developing in php storm which encoding is set to utf-8.
I tried output to log, print on screen, insert to db and i always a got broken chars.
Thank you very much for help.

I think you need to base64 encode and decode it.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

You need to convert the binary string that encryption outputs into hex. base64_encode and its compliment base64_decode is one solution. The other solution is to use the complementary functions bin2hex and hex2bin
