to convert a multi-byte character into hex strings:



$b = "現，市民派利市的習慣亦有所改變";



    printf("length of string: %d <br>", mb_strlen($b, 'UTF-8'));

    for ($i=0; $i < mb_strlen($b, 'UTF-8'); $i++){

        $ch = mb_substr($b, $i, 1, 'UTF-8');

        $chlen = mb_strwidth($ch, 'UTF-8');

        $hexs = '';

        for ($j=0; $j < $chlen; $j++)

            $hexs = $hexs . sprintf("%x", ord($ch[$j]));

        printf ("width=%d => '%s' |hex=%s<br>", $chlen, $ch, $hexs );

        

        

    }

Note: mb_strwidth is NOT returning bytes.  It's returning the width of monotype characters.  (In some languages, some characters will take up 2 character widths if displayed in monotype.)
