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 );
}
