Per, I have develop an open source Unicode support package that would be easy to integrate into PHP. It provides UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 and many of the popular MBCS codepages including GB18030 support.
>From what I can remember of the Japanese support package the only thing not covered with to Unicode support is automatic code page recognition. This is not hard if all you are doing is determining which Japanese code page it is. Trying to discriminate between a wide variety of code pages is very difficult. There seems to be interest in having Unicode support but not in doing it.
