I have a unicode string "ÜÝee" and I want to replace some letters with some
other letters:

When i use strtr, it messes up the string:

eg

$s = "ÜÝee";
echo $s; // will output ÜÝee
echo strtr($sTerm, "Ü", "|"); // will output |?|?ee

If you can't read the characters above, here is another example where 1234
are unicode characters (utf-8):

$s = "1234";
echo $s; // will output 1234
echo strtr($sTerm, "1", "|"); // will output |?|?34

any work arround? :-/

I forgot to mention that my string contains both gr

and french accented
characters. French are replaced normally, which gr

become messed up. So
if you want to replicate the problem, you will have to add both gr

accented and french accented characters;

See http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php for multibyte string
functions.
