Description:
------------
$test = '§abcd';
$test1 = substr($test,1);
echo $test1;

It should return "abcd" it doesnt but: "�abcd"
I tested it does same thing with §, µ, £ and perhaps other char I didn't think of.

Test script:
---------------
$test = '§abcd';
$test1 = substr($test,1);
echo $test1;

Expected result:
----------------
abcd

Actual result:
--------------
�abcd

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

These letters use more than one byte per character, and substr only operates on bytes. You want to use mb_substr instead.
