SYNOPSIS
       public string Transliterator::transliterate (string  $subject, [int  $start], [int  $end])

DESCRIPTION
       Procedural style
       transliterator_transliterate (mixed  $transliterator, string  $subject, [int  $start], [int  $end])

	Transforms a string or part thereof using an ICU transliterator.

PARAMETERS
	      o $transliterator
		- In the procedural version, either a Transliterator or a string from which a Transliterator can be built.

	      o $subject
		- The string to be transformed.

	      o $start
		-  The start index (in UTF-16 code units) from which the string will start to be transformed, inclusive. Indexing starts at 0. The

	      o $end
		- The end index (in UTF-16 code units) until which the string will be transformed, exclusive. Indexing starts at 0. The text after
		will be left as is.

EXAMPLES
       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
	      $supplChar = html_entity_decode('&#x1D11E;');
	      echo mb_strlen($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), "
";
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      1
	      uD834uDD1E
