Hi,
Currently, PHP strings are binary safe (thus can store any encoding). I
generally think of PHP strings as being an array of bytes vs. a "string"
you are familiar with in other languages. The name is unfortunate in that
regard, but working with them is straightforward (imagine having an actual
array of bytes in PHP and trying to work on them).
