You assume that string is in utf-8. It can be some iso-8859-x,
iso-2022-xx, utf-7, utf-16 or any other multibyte character set.
If you want to parse string in symbols, use mb_substr and mb_strlen, set
charset correctly and make sure that your string is in correct character
set, if PHP bug about inconsistent symbol position calculation is still
unfixed.
