[axxs-sysadmin] mbstring.func_overload

[boud]

hi all

just a comment:

multibyte string probably means e.g. for CJK - Chinese/Japanese/Korean

In unicode, each character can in principle be represented with two bytes,
though for most scripts (e.g. the one in which i'm writing this email :P),
one byte is enough and "UTF-8" can be used instead of the full "UTF-16".

i have no idea what the "overload" is about.

So this function might be useful for a site wanting to be a regional
"East/South-East/Far-South Asia" site...

cheers
boud

PS: no i haven't forgotten the kernel update, i just haven't got one of
them roundtoit thingummyjigs. :)
