Will the more clunky mb_substr() be the only option? What will happen to array access in unicode strings, if code wants to access them in bytes? Will some backwards incompatible binary be the only option? You want unicode strings. I want backwards compatibility which goes further than php 5.2.1. I want to write bytes in hexadecimal notation. I need both unicode aware and byte based functions. -- Tomas
