Php Unicode I18n
Andrei Zmievski gave a presentation on PHP 6 and Unicode at a PHP Meetup in July 2008. He discussed how PHP 6 includes support for Unicode that PHP 5 lacks, and explained what Unicode is and why it is important. Specifically, he defined Unicode as a standard that assigns a unique number to every character, allowing text to be reliably represented no matter the platform, program, or language. He also touched on mojibake, the phenomenon of corrupted text that can occur without proper Unicode support.
