Example #1
Converting escaped UTF-16 code units
<?php
$s = "u304Au65E9u3046u3054u3056u3044u307Eu3059";
echo transliterator_transliterate("Hex-Any/Java", $s), "
";
//now the reverse operation with a supplementary character
$supplChar = html_entity_decode('𝄞');
echo mb_strlen($supplChar, "UTF-8"), "
";
$encSupplChar = transliterator_transliterate("Any-Hex/Java", $supplChar);
//echoes two encoded UTF-16 code units
echo $encSupplChar, "
";
//and back
echo transliterator_transliterate("Hex-Any/Java", $encSupplChar), "
";
