Can't get the unicode character

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I'm trying to get some text from various parts of a file. I have converted the file to hex (bin2hex) and I've got this:

64 72 e6 62 65 72 (without spaces)

I'm converting that back by:

Code: <?php
function hex2bin($h)
{
if (!is_string($h)) return null;
$r='';
for ($a=0; $a<strlen($h); $a+=2)
$r .= chr(hexdec($h{$a}.$h{($a+1)}));

return $r;
}
?>

It works fine, except for unicode characters. For example, the above hex is giving me:

dr�ber

While it must be:

dræber

How can I get the correct word?
Thanks
