I'm not exactly an expert either :-/

The problem is that you need to be careful when doing string manipulation
on multi-byte strings. To quote from <http://www.php.net/mbstring>:

"When you manipulate (trim, split, splice, etc.) strings encoded in a
multibyte encoding, you need to use special functions since two or more
consecutive bytes may represent a single character in such encoding
schemes. Otherwise, if you apply a non-multibyte-aware string function to
the string, it probably fails to detect the beginning or ending of the
multibyte character and ends up with a corrupted garbage string that most
likely loses its original meaning."

bye, Dirk
