How to change php code to solve character coding issue?

I wrote this php email sender code:

<?php

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "POST") {}


if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$recaptcha_secret = "xy";
$response = file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$recaptcha_secret."&response=".$_POST['g-recaptcha-response']);
$response = json_decode($response, true);

if($response["success"] === true){
    $mailTo = "[email protected]";
    $headers = "From: ".$mailFrom;
    $txt = "Feladó: ".$name."nTelefonszám: ".$phone."nCég: ".$company."nWeboldal: ".$website."nnÜzenet: ".$message;

mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
header("Location: feedback/koszonjuk");
    
    
}else{
    header("Location: feedback/error");
}

}

?>`

It sends email to my server side email address after someone fill out my form on my website with recaptcha.

I want to have the emails in UTF-8 character coding, but I can not see the issue. These characters are mismanaged in the emails from the form: öüóőúéá

The HTML page where the form is located is set to UTF-8.
The HTML form code:

<form action="ajanlatkeres.php" method="post" class="ajanlatkeres-form" accept-charset="utf-8">
                    <h2>Általános adatok</h2>
                        <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Teljes név*" class="feedback-input" required>
                        <input type="text" name="mail" placeholder="E-mail*" class="feedback-input" required>
                        <input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Telefonszám*" class="feedback-input" required>
                    <h2>Vállalkozás adatai</h2>
                        <input type="text" name="company" placeholder="Márkanév" class="feedback-input">
                        <input type="text" name="website" placeholder="Weboldal" class="feedback-input">
                    
                    <h2>Üzenet</h2>
                        <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Ajánlatkérés">
                        <textarea name="message" placeholder="Írj pár sort projektedről*" class="feedback-input" required></textarea>
                        <div class="g-recaptcha" id="rcaptcha" data-theme="dark" data-sitekey="xy"></div>
                        <br/>
                        <button id="submit_form" class="contactbutton" type="submit" name="submit">Küldés</button>
                    </form>

What can cause this issue? Is it in my php code?

    You can try changing the header:

    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8;Location: feedback/koszonjuk;");

    and

    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8;Location: feedback/error;");

    Try to set content-type and character encoding in headers

    $headers = "From: " . $mailFrom . "rn";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8rn";
