Example #1 A unicode_encode() example
Note: The characters will be seen instead of entities in the output.
<?php
header ('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2');
$encoded = unicode_encode ('\u0150\u0179', 'ISO-8859-2');
echo 'Unicode semantics: ', ini_get ('unicode_semantics'), PHP_EOL;
echo 'The string itself:', $encoded, PHP_EOL;
echo 'The length of the string: ', strlen ($encoded);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Unicode semantics: 1 The string itself: ŐŹ The length of the string: 2
