How do PHP based open source CMS achieve UTF8 compatibility?

Post by porg »

Reading the PHP documentation, lets me think, that the only possible PHP functions to achieve this,
are either the GNU libiconv functions iconv_* or the Multibyte String Functions mb_*.
Are there other functions/classes which might be used?

Which CMS are using the string functions overloading feature mbstring.func_overload in order to make native PHP string functions multi-byte aware?

I am curious in: Drupal, Joomla!, MediaWiki, TYPO3, WordPress.
But information on others is also welcome!
