PHP Code I Must find

A web site deploys what I think are UTF characters to mask email addresses. Is there there a php function I can use to generate this? Or was this hand-done? It is crackable, but a darned good stab at the problem of spiders at the same. Any feedback, info or code would be appreciated, John John Taylor-Johnston wrote:
