Re: [RFC] IntlChar class and intl_char_*() functions

I.e. if we assume $x holds an Unicode codepoint value (i.e., an integer) do we have a good built-in way to generate the corresponding utf8 sequence? If not, then I think this class may be a good place to put such a function in. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
