Description:
------------
The mb_strcut and mb_substr pages currently do a bad job, in my opinion, of explaining the difference between these two functions.

It would probably be better to provide clear code examples, with output. Some of the comments on the mb_strcut page already try to do this, but I think they could definitely be improved on.
