For getting UTF16 value of Chinese ideographs:
PLEASE ALWAYS use the uniord() ng4rrjanbiah at rediffmail dot com (#46267) but do not use
#42778's method.
native mbstring has problem with Chinese charset. For simplified Chinese it only (afaik) can deal
with characters with GB2312 charset, that means a lot of person names will fail.
for example, if you pass U+97E1 to uniord as provided by #42778 you will get value is
'E1', this is incorrect. the '97' part is ignored by mbstring when doing
conversion.
another suggestion is never use mb_convert_encoding for simplified Chinese at all. Use iconv
instead. I am the one in greater trouble with it because my own name gets lots everytime mbstring
wishing to convert something.
