I need to count how many Hebrew characters a given string has. I have
been checking, character by character, if the given character is a
[ý] and if so I simply ++ the counting variable. It turns out that
this is rather resouce intensive, and I may need a better way of doing
this. I have looked at count_chars and considered writing a wrapper
function for each of the 27 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but I am
quite sure that there is a cleverer method. Any ideas?

Dotan:
Are you using mb_<whatever> functions?
Hebrew characters are not ASCII and as such may
contain graphemes and ligatures. You need to use
Unicode safe routines (i.e., mb_strlen() etc. )
for string manipulations.
