The PHP6 books I've looked at in bookstores all make references (one
even had a chapter dedicated) to the native Unicode support, without
making too much reference on what is/isn't involved there.  As far as
the books on PHP6, some of them make reference to traits, which are
thought to be included in PHP6 / 5.3, but weren't, and I've seen ::
used in books as a namespace separator.  I wouldn't buy a book for a
version of the language that I wasn't already using, so I'd recommend
getting an older 5.X book, or even a newer 5.3 book.
