It's a php module: http://php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php

This will check whether it's installed:

var_dump(function_exists('utf8_decode'));

Yup, using php7 there seems to be stuff that are not by default there that should be and that fixes it.

Depends on what you consider "default". It all depends on the OS, whether you do a self compile, whether that module has been ported upwards to support PHP 7, whether you are using a panel and a few other factors.

to fix that issue at least in Ubuntu install php-xml.
