Description:
------------
Hi
As you know , ANSI string length is equal to each character,
But in Unicode string (UTF-8) each character returns twice!
And for checking string that can be ANSI or UTF-8 we can't get the real 
length using strlen() !

What should we do?
I think it had better improve the strlen() function to check
the Unicode/ANSI String before return the length

See mb_strlen()

thank you Rasmus
This is my issue 
And I can't believe that "You" answered me :)

Oh it makes no different !

echo mb_strlen('A');
// returns 1

echo mb_strlen('ب');
//returns 2

You have to specify the correct encoding. eg.

mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
echo mb_strlen('ﺏ');
