Comment:

 TextHelper::truncate() and Validation methods have been updated to use mb_
 methods where available.  If you know of other places where Multibyte
 support is missing, please either reopen this ticket, or open new tickets
 on http://code.cakephp.org

Comment (by euromark):

 i am very glad this will finally be an issue of high priority in 1.3
 :)[[BR]]

 in summer 2008, i already pointed out how severe this issue might effect
 any website built with cake.
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]

 since this time i had to continuously hack into the core validation.php in
 order to ensure correct validation (replaced str() functions with mb_str()
 functions)
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]

 some people in America will now think, who cares, my site is only visited
 by American fellows.[[BR]]

 well, the visitors still could inject multibyte characters such as äöü
 into forms which usually results in incorrect validation[[BR]]

 what i want to say is, that the multibyte functions should not only be
 fully supported, but also be 100% integrated into the core.
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]

 here is what is neccessary to ensure proper "woldwide" validation (if utf8
 is your encoding):
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]

 a)
 [[BR]]
 mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); # important!
 [[BR]]

 (could be invoked by setting Configure::App.encoding to UTF-8)
 [[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 b)
 [[BR]]
 in /libs/validation.php (one example on the between validation):
 {{{
 function between($check, $min, $max) {
 //$length = strlen($check);
 $length = mb_strlen($check);# CORE-HACK 2008-09-12 ms
 | now the character are counted correctly
 return ($length >= $min && $length <= $max);
 }
 }}}

 the same goes for minLength, maxLength, etc (or _luhn() for the cc
 validation)
