So, if I have a quasi-unicode UTF-16 character code of
0x14e
0xf6
How would I make sure that it's strict and adheres to the standard?
0x014E
0x00F6
I realize that I can do a few string manipulations, but I can't seem to find a built-in method with PHP...
You can validate using mb_detect_encoding(). http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-detect-encoding.php
